According to CSIS Senior Adviser Mark Cancian's comments to CNN, these expenses encompass the costs of ammunition, damaged equipment, and destruction at American bases, but exclude operational expenses that are already factored into the ministry's budget for fiscal year 2026.
While the U.S. Department of War incurred the majority of expenses, other agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Veterans Affairs, faced costs totaling $1 billion, based on CSIS data.
In May, the Pentagon told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the expense of combat operations totals $29 billion, encompassing costs for essential repairs, equipment replacements, and overall operational expenses.
At the same time, for consumers, gasoline prices in the United States have increased from an average of under $3 per gallon (3.78 liters) to over $4 amid the war.
It has been observed that oil from the Middle East has not been delivered for nearly four months. According to the analytical firm Kpler, the world suffered a loss of 1.15 billion barrels of oil amid the conflict.
