Iran's attacks on US military bases in the Middle East caused approximately $800 million in damage to Washington in the first two weeks of the war.
Modern.az reports that this was stated in a report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies and an analysis by BBC News.
The full extent of the damage caused by Iran's strikes on US targets in the region is unknown. However, the reported $800 million provides an idea of the significant damage incurred by Washington as the conflict prolongs.
Iran's retaliatory strikes specifically targeted American air defense and satellite communication systems in Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and other Middle Eastern countries.
A significant portion of the damage was incurred as a result of a strike on the US Thaad missile defense radar located at an air base in Jordan. The radar system is valued at approximately $485 million.
Air defense systems are used to intercept long-range ballistic missiles.
Iran's strikes caused approximately $310 million in additional damage to buildings, structures, and other infrastructure at US bases and military facilities used by US forces in the region.
Since President Donald Trump joined Israel in attacking Iran on February 28, the US has lost 13 military personnel.
US Department of Defense officials informed members of Congress that the first six days of the war cost $11.3 billion.
According to the report, the first 12 days cost $16.5 billion. The Pentagon is requesting an additional $200 billion to fund the war.
