The large-scale military operations launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28 have begun to produce serious consequences not only in the military sphere but also on the global economic level.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, citing Haber Global, initial expert estimates indicate that billions of dollars were spent during the first 24 hours of operations on ammunition, fighter jet sorties, and military deployments to the region.
It was noted that the US military spent approximately $779 million during the first day of the military operation against Iran. At the same time, the deployment of aircraft and dozens of naval vessels in the region cost an additional $630 million. The daily operating costs of each carrier strike group in the region amount to approximately $6.5 million. Since the first day, the total expenditure is reported to have reached $2,276,000,000.
The financial burden of the conflict is emphasized as being extremely heavy: the hourly cost stands at $9.16 million, while the daily operational value is maintained at approximately $220 million. These figures reflect the high intensity of modern warfare involving advanced missile systems, stealth technology, and sustained naval presence in the Persian Gulf and surrounding waters.
The current escalation follows months of heightened regional tensions. Under the leadership of US President Donald Trump, Washington has maintained a policy of maximum pressure, citing regional security concerns. Military analysts suggest that such high-expenditure operations are characteristic of modern high-intensity conflicts, where the deployment of precision-guided munitions and the maintenance of carrier strike groups significantly inflate the defense budget requirements of the participating nations.
