Iran War Costs US Billions, Depletes Missile Stockpile, Report Finds

A new report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reveals the ongoing conflict in Iran has cost the United States at least $38 billion. The report further indicates that the war has significantly depleted the nation's defensive missile stockpile, with estimates suggesting it could take up to five years to fully rebuild.

These findings come amid growing scrutiny of the war's financial and strategic implications. The Pentagon's inspector general has also confirmed munitions shortfalls and identified bottlenecks in the resupply chain, contradicting previous claims of "virtually limitless" supplies. The economic impact of the war is expected to continue, with projections of an additional $3 billion in costs per month.
