Iran War Cost Tracker: Washington has spent over $42 billion in 37 days of war  - 1

The military operation in Iran has cost the United States more than $42.1 billion in 37 days of fighting, according to the Iran War Cost Tracker.

According to a message from the Pentagon to Congress on March 10, Washington has spent $11.3 billion in the first six days of hostilities in the Middle East and plans to spend an additional $1 billion for each subsequent day of the conflict.

In “Epic Fury“, which began on February 28, according to data from the Pentagon and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), confirmed losses as of early April have killed at least 13 to 15 American servicemen.
7 of them died in direct combat. 6 crew members died in a KC-135 tanker crash in Iraq on March 12.

The number of injured is between 365 and 520, with the number continuing to rise due to Iran's continued missile strikes on US bases in Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE.

The financial value of the destroyed and damaged equipment is estimated at over $2 billion.

At least 7 manned aircraft were lost, including 4 F-15E Strike Eagles (three of them in a "friendly fire" incident from Kuwait on March 1 and one shot down over Iran on April 3) and one A-10 Thunderbolt II.

More than 17 MQ-9 Reaper drones were shot down or destroyed on the ground.

Several KC-135 tankers and Black Hawk helicopters involved in the rescue missions.

A critical $1.1 billion AN/FPS-132 early warning radar in Qatar was destroyed.
Components of the THAAD missile defense system (AN/TPY-2 radar) in the UAE were hit.
Serious damage was caused to the headquarters of the 5th US Fleet in Bahrain, including the destruction of satellite terminals.

According to analysts at the American Enterprise Institute, Iran is successfully implementing a strategy of attrition using ballistic missiles and drones against high-tech American assets.
