The United States has invested roughly twelve billion dollars in its military operations targeting Iran, a senior White House economic advisor announced on Sunday. This disclosure aimed to alleviate concerns among Americans regarding the escalating financial implications of the ongoing conflict. Kevin Hassett, an economic advisor previously associated with Donald Trump, addressed the matter during an interview with CBS News.
He clarified that the reported sum represents the expenditure to date, stemming from the coordinated attacks alongside Israel, as detailed by Reuters and subsequently reported by The Telegraph. “Twelve billion dollars were the figures I was informed have been spent thus far,” Hassett stated, emphasizing that this figure doesn’t encompass the complete cost of a prolonged offensive, anticipated to extend for several weeks. These remarks align with Washington’s efforts to provide reassurance to the public concerning the current situation.
The administration is working to manage public perception amidst the military attacks.
