More than $6 billion would be needed to replace military equipment lost during the war with Iran

More than $6 billion would be needed to replace military equipment and so-called "platform losses," which include the loss of aircraft including many drones lost during the war with Iran, Reuters writes.

Previously, The Hill reported that U.S. expenditures for a military operation against Iran had reached $47 billion.

The war's impact on global energy costs has weighed on support for Republican candidates and hurt President Donald Trump's approval ratings. Trump's Republican Party holds a narrow majority in both chambers of Congress.
