Iran war cost 5.6 billion in the first two days

The Trump administration reported using $5.6 billion in munitions during the initial two days of strikes against Iran. Congress is concerned that ongoing conflict will strain military resources, especially with the defense industry already facing challenges.

Trump recently met with defense contractors as the Pentagon works to replenish supplies. The administration has not disclosed total conflict costs since its launch on February 28 with Israel.

Congress is seeking more information and expects a funding request soon, potentially around $50 billion, though some believe this estimate is low.
