Factura războiului SUA-Iran: 38.000.000.000$ a costat planul lui Trump și 5 ani pentru refacerea munițiilor • Newsweek România

The U.S. conflict with Iran has cost approximately $38 billion, with an additional $3 billion expected monthly. The massive ammunition consumption may require five years for the Pentagon to replenish its stocks. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) highlights that the financial burden extends beyond military spending, potentially increasing inflation by 0.5% by early 2027. The rapid depletion of munitions raises concerns about the U.S. military's readiness for future conflicts. The Pentagon's operations have heavily relied on precision munitions, with two-thirds of costs attributed to ammunition used in combat. The situation poses significant challenges for U.S. defense budgeting amid existing financial pressures.
