According to a report by US paper Capitol Hill on the 15th local time, quoted by Chinanews on Sept. 16, the US Department of Defense told US Congress on August 13 that the cost of the war on Iran has now climbed to more than $42 billion, which is higher than the latest public estimate by the Department of Defense. The cost increased by $4.5 billion since July 2026.
Some US experts believe that the actual figure is much higher. Linda J. Bilmes, a senior lecturer in public policy at Harvard Kennedy School, said at the time that the cost of the war was about $100 billion.
Increasing cost might be, at least, partly due to recent Iranian missile and drone attacks on US bases in the Middle East where expensive assets of the US Air Force had been targeted.

Additional damage of buildings and vehicles is being reported from two other US bases in Kuwait, Camp Boehring and Arifjan. The estimated equipment loss is at approximately $3.7 billion.
