The US government has spent over $85 billion during the 79-day confrontation with Iran. This exceeds earlier estimates by three times.

According to the "Iran War Cost Tracker" portal, expenses include maintaining military personnel in the region. The amount is much higher than the Pentagon's earlier figure of $29 billion.

In February, Israel struck Iran, with US involvement. Iran retaliated by launching ballistic missiles at Israel.

On March 1, it was announced that Ali Khamenei was killed. Iran fired rockets at US allies, leading to temporary airspace closures.

Navigation through the Strait of Hormuz faced serious issues. In April, Trump announced a two-week ceasefire, but talks later stalled.
