The United States has spent an estimated $29 billion on its ongoing war against Iran, according to a senior Pentagon official on Tuesday. This figure is $4 billion higher than the previous estimate of $25 billion reported last month.

The new total includes additional expenses for repairing and replacing equipment, as well as operational military costs. The Pentagon has not immediately clarified how the $29 billion figure was calculated.

In March, Reuters reported that the US spent at least $11.3 billion in the first six days of the conflict, which was initiated under President Donald Trump.
