The United States has spent at least $25 billion in its ongoing war with Iran, according to Pentagon officials. Acting Undersecretary (Comptroller) Jules Hurst disclosed the figure during a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday, where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was also present. Hurst said most of the spending went toward ammunition and weaponry, as well as military operations and replacement of damaged equipment.
The war, which began on February 28, has drawn concern among US lawmakers over its financial toll. Democratic members have accused President Donald Trump of launching the costly conflict without congressional approval. The hearing also revealed that US bases in the Middle East suffered significant damage from Iranian drone and missile attacks, further straining resources.
Hurst added that the Pentagon is still calculating the total cost of the war and may request additional funds from Congress to rebuild damaged military infrastructure. The hearing was held as part of the administration’s effort to justify its proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget for fiscal year 2027.
