The cost of the conflict between the US and Iran has reached $45.1 billion, surpassing the Pentagon’s estimate of $38 billion, according to a recent report. The initial intense phase of the conflict lasted just over a month, with relatively few US forces involved compared to previous operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The report states that less intense combat operations are still ongoing. The monthly costs could increase if the level of violence escalates further. The conflict has also caused inflationary pressures due to reduced shipments of oil and natural gas through the Strait of Hormuz and disruptions to shipping through the Red Sea. These higher energy prices are expected to put upward pressure on consumer prices.
