The United States’ war in Iran has cost $25 billion so far, a senior Pentagon official says, providing the first official estimate of war costs, The Times of Israel reports.

Jules Hurst, who is performing the duties of the comptroller, tells lawmakers on the House Armed Services Committee that most of that money was for munitions.

The United States started carrying out strikes against Iran with Israel on February 28, and the two sides are currently maintaining a fragile ceasefire.

The ceasefire declared by Trump came with core declared goals of the war unfulfilled, including ensuring that Iran does not attain nuclear weapons, destroying its missile program, and creating the conditions for the Iranian public to overthrow the regime.
