《纽约时报》援引三位熟悉此次简报的匿名人士的话报道，周二五角大楼官员在闭门简报会上告诉立法者，他们估计伊朗战争在冲突最初六天的成本超过113亿美元。
该媒体补充说，这一估计并未涵盖许多与此次行动相关的费用，例如首次打击前军事资产和人员的集结。
其他报道表明，此次简报涉及参议员。
参议院武装部队委员会一名工作人员表示，他只能代表少数党工作人员和 Ranking Member（排名成员）罗德岛州民主党参议员杰克·里德（Jack Reed）发言，并向福克斯新闻数字版记者提及里德参议员3月10日发送给战争部长皮特·赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）的一封信，信中要求提供有关战争成本的信息。

里德在信中部分内容问道：”自2026年2月28日首次打击以来，国防部在这些行动上花费了多少？这些行动的每日成本是多少？战备成本是多少？国防部需要多少资金来补充弹药和飞机战斗损失？”
参议院武装部队委员会的共和党方面未置评。
福克斯新闻数字版记者周四还联系了美国战争部和众议院武装部队委员会共和党通讯办公室。

与战争相关的支出正值不断扩大的美国国债接近39万亿美元之际。
尽管总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在与美国在中东的关键盟友以色列联合发动这场代价高昂的战争，但美国人在国内目睹了汽油价格大幅飙升。

特朗普在周四的Truth Social帖子中表示：”美国目前是世界上最大的石油生产国，迄今为止一直如此，所以当油价上涨时，我们赚了很多钱。但是，作为总统，对我来说，更感兴趣和重要的是阻止[原文此处有拼写错误：stoping]一个邪恶的帝国——伊朗——拥有核武器，并摧毁中东乃至整个世界。我永远不会让这种情况发生！”

Pentagon estimates Iran war cost $11.3B in the first six days in closed-door congressional hearing: report
The costly war comes as the nation’s national debt nears $39 trillion

Pentagon officials on Tuesday told legislators during a closed-door briefing that they estimated that the cost of the Iran war was more than $11.3 billion during the initial six days of the conflict, the New York Times reported, citing three unnamed individuals familiar with the briefing.
That estimate did not encompass many expenses tied to the effort, such as buildup of military assets and personnel prior to the first strikes, the outlet added.
Other reports indicate that the briefing involved senators.
A Senate Armed Services Committee staffer, who noted that he could only speak for the minority staff and Ranking Member Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., referred Fox News Digital to a March 10 letter that the senator sent to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, pressing for information about the costs of the war.

“Since the initial strikes on February 28, 2026, how much has the Department spent on these operations? How much are the daily costs of these operations? What are the costs to readiness? How much funding does the Department need to replenish munitions and aircraft combat losses?” Reed asked in part of the letter.
No comment was provided by the GOP side of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Fox News Digital also reached out to the Department of War and the House Armed Services Committee Republican communications office on Thursday.

The war-related outlays come as the ever-expanding U.S. national debt nears the $39 trillion mark.
And while President Donald Trump has been waging the costly war in conjunction with Israel, a key U.S. ally in the Middle East, Americans have been seeing a significant surge in gas prices at home.

“The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping [sic] an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World. I won’t ever let that happen!” Trump said in a Thursday Truth Social post.
