Think tank experts estimate that the U.S. military spends approximately $500 million per day in Iran.

Golden Finance reports that on April 8, since the U.S. launched military strikes against Iran at the end of February, the estimated cost of the fighting has already reached several hundred billion dollars. Experts from a think tank estimate that in the Iran conflict the U.S. has been “burning” $500 million per day on average. British reports say Iran is prioritizing strikes against U.S. military radar, communications systems, and aerial refueling aircraft. It is known that U.S. losses include: the E-3 “Sentry” airborne early warning aircraft, the AN/TPY-2 radar, the F-15E “Strike Eagle” fighter aircraft, the A-10 “Warthog” attack aircraft, the C-130 “Hercules” transport aircraft, more than 10 MQ-9 “Reaper” drones, as well as three F-15E fighter jets shot down by “friendly forces” and one KC-135 “Stratotanker” aerial refueling aircraft. Analysts say the E-3 early warning aircraft and two radars are the most important assets that have been destroyed, and the replacement cost is high. McCaskey says that if the fighting continues, shortages of key materials could worsen. A former senior U.S. military official pointed out that most of the losses of U.S. assets are due to “self-inflicted” improper use of resources. Trump applied on March 19 for an additional budget of about $200 billion, which was questioned by some lawmakers. (CCTV Finance)
