The war with Iran has cost the United States $37.5 billion, according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, but the bill is likely much higher, experts previously told CNN, APA reports.
Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin asked the secretary during a budget hearing whether he anticipates that cost will go up now that the ceasefire between the US and Iran is effectively over.
Hegseth replied that some of the $37.5 billion accounts for expenses, such as meals for troops, through the end of the fiscal year.
