The Iran war has so far cost $25 billion, a top Defense official said on Wednesday. Speaking during a House Armed Services Committee hearing, Acting Pentagon comptroller Jules Hurst said most of the price tag is "in munitions."
"There is part of that, it's obviously [operations and maintenance] and equipment replacement," he added. Ranking member Adam Smith, a Democrat, said he appreciated the response. "I'm glad you answered that question, because we've been asking for a hell of a long time, and no one's given us the number," he said. "So if you could get those details over to us, that would be great."
