During Trump's term, the US spent 17,000 missiles in the war with Iran
It has been determined that during the period led by Donald Trump, the US government made extensive use of strategically significant weapons and necessary reserves in military operations against Iran. Zamin.uz reported on this.
Financial Times, citing its reliable sources, provided information on this matter. Notably, long-range Tomahawk missiles were also widely used in combat operations.
According to calculations by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, during the first hundred hours of the war in the Middle East, the United States used more than seventeen thousand Tomahawk-series missiles. The publication emphasizes that this amount is extremely sharp and replenishing their reserves will take several years.
The Pentagon plans to submit an official request in the coming days to the White House and Congress for additional military funding amounting to seventy-nine billion dollars. According to data, the Trump administration estimated the costs of the first six days of the war against Iran at no less than twenty-one billion dollars.
According to Reuters, the same figures were presented during a closed briefing in Congress, clearly demonstrating that the funds spent on US military operations are very large. During this war, a significant number of missiles were also used for the US Patriot systems.
According to The New York Times, while Ukraine has received nearly six hundred Patriot missiles since the beginning of its war against Russia, America used eight hundred missiles in just one week against Iran. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that the US armed forces possess the necessary military reserves and weapons to achieve the goals set by President Trump.
Thus, US military operations were aimed not only at strategic objectives but also at maintaining regional security and global balance. Experts remind that such large military expenditures and the rapid depletion of reserves without prior planning could negatively affect the country's future military capabilities.
