Pentagon: U.S. Has Spent $25 Billion on Iran Conflict in 60 Days

A senior Pentagon official told Congress the U.S. has already spent about $25 billion on Operation Epic Fury as the Iran conflict passes the 60-day mark. Acting Comptroller Jules Hurst III testified that most of the cost covers munitions, operations, maintenance and equipment replacements. He said a formal supplemental funding request will go to Congress once a full cost assessment is complete. Lawmakers pressed for a detailed breakdown of how American taxpayer funds have been used. In March, Pentagon figures showed $11.3 billion spent in the first six days. Rising global gas prices and closed shipping lanes at the Strait of Hormuz add urgency to the debate, while Congress approaches the 60-day limit under the War Powers Resolution.
