The Pentagon’s acting chief financial officer told members of the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday that the U.S. war against Iran has cost $25 billion so far.

“So approximately, at this day, we’re spending about $25 billion on Operation Epic Fury. Most of that is ammunitions,” Jules Hurst III said in response to a question from ranking member Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) during a hearing on the Pentagon’s $1.5 trillion defense budget request.
