Les USA ont dépensé 11 mds USD les six premiers jours de la guerre (media)
The first week of the war against Iran cost the United States more than $11.3 billion, according to a Pentagon briefing of members of Congress, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
According to the newspaper, which cites anonymous sources who attended Tuesday's briefing, this figure excludes many costs related to preparing the strikes, suggesting that the final amount could, in reality, be much higher.
Pentagon officials previously told Congress that about $5.6 billion worth of munitions were spent during the first two days of the conflict, a figure far exceeding previous estimates.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), an independent think tank based in Washington, estimated the first 100 hours of the operation at $3.7 billion, or more than $891 million per day.
Part of these costs is already budgeted, but the majority ($3.5 billion) is not, noted the CSIS in its study published on March 5.
The online site Iran War Cost Tracker, which calculates in real time the cost of the war in Iran for the United States, displayed the figure of more than 17 billion dollars on its counter on Thursday morning around 08:00 GMT.
According to this website, the United States spends one billion dollars a day. But these estimates do not take into account long-term consequences, such as veterans' support or indirect costs.
The Center for American Progress (CAP), which incorporates these indirect costs into its calculations, estimated the cost of the war at more than $5 billion on only the fourth day of the outbreak of the conflict.
"At the current pace of operations, a three-week war could easily generate expenditures exceeding tens of billions of dollars," the CAP estimated.
