US Spends $38 Billion on Iran Conflict, Faces Ammunition Shortages

Washington D.C. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has stated that the United States has spent approximately $38 billion on the war it has been conducting against Iran for the past six months. The office estimates that the expenditure could increase by an additional $3 billion per month if the war continues. The CBO's calculation is based on expenses incurred up to August 1.

According to the report, the war is estimated to increase U.S. inflation by 0.5 percent in the first three months of 2027.
