The United States' military expenditures against Iran have reached $85 billion. This data was published on May 19, 2026, by the Iran War Cost Tracker, an analytical portal that tracks costs in real time.

The conflict, which began on February 28, 2026, with US and Israeli airstrikes, has lasted 79 days. The portal's calculations are based on the Pentagon's March 10 Congressional briefing: $11,3 billion was spent in the first six days, with a planned $1 billion per day thereafter. According to this logic, current expenditures have exceeded $85 billion.

Notably, this independent resource estimate is almost three times higher than the official figure cited by Pentagon representatives at congressional hearings. Acting Under Secretary of the Army for Finance Jules Hurst stated costs of approximately $29 billion.

The Iran War Cost Tracker's estimates remain an expert assessment and may not reflect the Pentagon's final financial statements after the active phase ends. No information on casualties or damage has been received at this time.
