The military expenditures of the US in the first week of the war against Iran amounted to approximately 6 billion dollars.
Modern.az reports that the "New York Times" newspaper disseminated information on this matter, citing a report submitted by US officials to Congress.
The Trump administration is expected to soon request additional funding to continue the operation. According to initial Pentagon estimates, military expenditures could reach 1 billion dollars per day, and the White House predicts this will last four to six weeks.
Iran, in turn, has adopted a strategy to prolong the conflict and aims to make it as costly as possible for its adversary. This strategy has been codenamed "Operation Madman". Tehran hopes that the US and Israel will eventually be forced to cease fighting.
The US and Israel began attacking Iran on February 28. In response, the Islamic Republic is striking Israel and American military bases in Gulf countries.
