In the first two days of the Iran war, the U.S. used more than $5 billion worth of munitions, the Washington Post reported.

The war began on February 28 with a joint U.S.-Israeli strike targeting Iran's military assets and leadership. The country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the first minutes of the operation.
