WASHINGTON / NEW YORK
The ongoing US military campaign against Iran has come at a staggering cost — both financially and strategically — as Washington’s most advanced and expensive weapons reserves face critical shortages, according to a new report by The New York Times.
The report reveals that large quantities of long-range precision missiles have been expended during operations against Iran. The drawdown has not been confined to the Middle East theater alone — stockpiles stationed in Europe and Asia have also been significantly impacted, raising urgent questions about America’s broader military readiness.
Financially, the war is estimated to have cost the United States between $28 billion and $35 billion so far — averaging approximately $1 billion per day. Defence analysts warn that the depletion of high-value munitions could limit Washington’s ability to respond effectively to simultaneous crises in other regions, particularly in the Indo-Pacific.
The revelations are expected to intensify debate in Congress over the pace and sustainability of the military operation.
