Cost of Iran War Secretly Hits $100 Billion: China and Russia Look On While the US Consumes its Munitions Supply and Fiscal Bandwidth for Puppet Trumpstein's War to Enrich His Masters

By June 30, 2026, OMB Director Russel Vought revised the public figure only marginally to roughly USD30 billion (RM114 billion), a number independent institutions now treat as a politically managed floor rather than a comprehensive ceiling.

CSIS calculated a more granular USD34 billion to USD42 billion (RM129 billion to RM160 billion) range for Department of Defense costs, isolating munitions expenditure at approximately USD26.1 billion (RM99 billion), reflecting the extraordinary consumption of Tomahawk cruise missiles during the campaign’s opening days.

Popular Information’s 120-day tracker produced a starkly higher USD103 billion (RM391 billion) total, driven by USD46.7 billion (RM177 billion) in weapons alone, alarming planners already facing backlogs at Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.

Brown University’s tracker calculated USD113.3 billion (RM431 billion) across 108 days once deployment and sustainment costs were incorporated, while Harvard’s Linda Bilmes warned upfront costs alone could reach USD200 billion (RM760 billion), with lifetime costs potentially exceeding USD1 trillion.
