Pentagon Official Reveals Estimated Cost of Iran War
A Pentagon official has confirmed that the estimated cost of the ongoing conflict with Iran has reached $25 billion. The figure was disclosed during a budget hearing at the Pentagon.
During the hearing, Pete Hegseth, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, testified about the war’s impact on the US military and its personnel. When asked if he considered the conflict a “quagmire,” Hegseth denied it, stating that the situation is being managed effectively.
Meanwhile, President Trump expressed his concerns about the talks with Iran, urging them to become more effective soon. The deadlock in negotiations has led to an increase in oil prices.
Additionally, Hegseth testified that congressional Democrats and some Republicans are considered the biggest adversary in the war effort.
