This week will see the Iran war reach 40 days of fighting, which is a far cry from the mere “four days” some US administration officials offered as a possible ‘optimistic’ timeline at the very opening of Trump’s Operation Epic Fury.

According to the Iran War Cost Tracker portal, the US military operation has cost more than $42 billion thus far. The tracker has arrived at this figure largely based on a Pentagon briefing to Congress on March 10, which disclosed that Washington spent $11.3 billion in the first six days of the new war in the Middle East.

Describing the mounting costs in terms of blood and treasure, Axios wrote that “Hundreds of American troops have been injured and 13 killed” – and also: “Some exquisite weaponry, everything from stealth jets to radars, has been knocked out.”
