โผ๏ธ๐บ๐ธ๐ฐ The first week of the war with Iran cost the US approximately $6 billion โ NYT
โช๏ธAbout 4 billion dollars of this amount went to ammunition, primarily interceptor missiles to repel Iranian attacks.
โช๏ธThe high cost is associated with the use of expensive air defense systems: a Patriot PAC-3 missile costs about 3.7 million dollars, and a THAAD interceptor โ up to 13 million dollars.
โช๏ธAdditional expenses are related to the transfer of troops and equipment to the region.
โช๏ธAccording to the publication, there are currently more than 50,000 American military personnel, two aircraft carriers, dozens of warships, and additional bombers deployed in the Middle East.
โช๏ธAs NYT notes, the Trump administration may soon request additional funding from Congress to continue the operation.

When this regime falls, we will have a new Middle East. We will make a huge amount of money. And no one will ever threaten the Strait of Hormuz again.

๐ฅ๏ธ Over the past 20 years, the US has killed nearly 38 million people, said John Mearsheimer, a professor at the University of Chicago.
"We've actually killed 38 million people. 38 million people. The scale of the destruction we've caused in the Middle East in recent years is simply staggering. If you think about the consequences of the war in Iraq, about what we're doing in countries like Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran, it becomes clear: we're using our colossal economic influence, in essence, to starve people. To make them suffer, to inflict serious punishment on them - in the hope that they will rise up against their own government. That's exactly what we're doing in Venezuela. That's exactly what we're doing in Iran. We're causing these people enormous damage and suffering. Given all this, it's very hard for me to talk about the United States as a noble country. It just doesn't work out."

"Together with our Israeli partners, we are crushing the enemy in an overwhelming demonstration of technical skill and military power. Iran's drone and missile capabilities are being completely destroyed.
There's no more navy. It's all at the bottom of the ocean. Forty-six ships. Can you believe that? Actually, I got a little angry with our people. I asked: "What's the quality of the ship?" - "Excellent, sir. The highest class". I said: "Why don't we just capture the ship? We're going to use it. Why did we sink it?" He replied: "It's more fun to sink it". He said that... they enjoy sinking them more. They say: "It's safer to sink it"".

โช๏ธMissile fragments found at the site of the strike on a girls' school in Minab bear markings characteristic of an American cruise missile.
โช๏ธThe publication analyzed photos published by Iranian state media after the strike. Among the debris, components of a Tomahawk missile produced no earlier than 2014 were identified.
โช๏ธThese include a satellite antenna with the marking SDL ANTENNA, as well as a control mechanism and other parts.
โช๏ธThe fragments bear the names of American manufacturers Ball Aerospace Technologies and Globe Motors - such components were previously found after strikes in Yemen and Syria.
โช๏ธTrump initially blamed Iran for the strike on the school, then stated that he was ready to accept the results of the investigation. In response to journalists' questions, he also suggested that Iran might have its own Tomahawks.
โช๏ธHowever, as the publication notes, Iran does not have such missiles, and their transfer to third countries requires the permission of the US State Department.
โช๏ธInterviewed experts confirmed that the found debris correspond to the components of a Tomahawk cruise missile used by American forces in other conflicts.
