U.S. Government Tallies $33.4 Billion Cost of Iran War, Cites Weapon Shortfalls and Damage

The U.S. government has estimated the cost of its war with Iran at $33.4 billion as of June 29, according to figures reported by CNBC.

The Department of Defense disclosed the figure as part of an accounting of the conflict's toll, which also included reports of "hundreds" of buildings and aircraft that sustained damage, CNBC reported.

The tally comes amid broader concerns over weapon shortfalls that the department has acknowledged as a consequence of the war, according to the report.

CNBC's report, published September 15, did not provide a full breakdown of how the $33.4 billion figure was calculated or specify which military assets were affected. Further details on the extent of the damage to buildings and aircraft, as well as the nature of the weapon shortages, were not immediately available.

The Department of Defense has not released additional public statements elaborating on the cost estimate beyond what was reported.
