US Secretary of Defense Reveals Iran War Costs at $37.5 Billion Amid Continued Strikes
The United States launched new attacks on Iran for the eleventh consecutive night, targeting military command centers, maritime capabilities, and logistics infrastructure. US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth disclosed during a Senate hearing that the Iran war has cost $37.5 billion so far, while requesting an additional $67 billion to cover costs through September. President Donald Trump threatened further heavy attacks, specifically mentioning the underground nuclear facility 'Pickaxe Mountain,' and stated the US is 'far from finished' with Iran. In response, Iran threatened to target 'all American interests' and those of its allies if Pickaxe Mountain is attacked. The latest wave of attacks lasted 75 minutes and was declared over by US Central Command. Protests against the war were visible at the Senate hearing.
