US spent $5.6B on Iran strikes in first 2 days of operation

The Pentagon spent approximately $5.6 billion on munitions during the first two days of strikes against Iran, The Washington Post reports, citing officials.

The high cost has raised concerns in Congress, with lawmakers worried about how quickly the military is using its limited stockpiles of advanced weapons.

The Trump administration is expected to request tens of billions of dollars in additional funding from Congress to continue the military campaign.
