US Operation Epic Fury: $3.7 Billion Spent in First 100 Hours Against Iran

• Operation Epic Fury, the US military campaign against Iran, cost an estimated $3.7 billion in its first 100 hours.
• The bulk of the spending, $3.5 billion, is unbudgeted and primarily for replacing used weapons like Tomahawk cruise missiles.
• Air and naval operations accounted for $196 million, while air defense interceptors cost an estimated $1.7 billion.
• Equipment losses, including three F-15EX jets and damage to facilities in Kuwait and Qatar, added $359 million.
• Future costs may decrease with the use of cheaper weapons, but the total bill could significantly rise if the conflict continues for weeks.
