Acting comptroller Jules Hurst III, testifying before the House Armed Services Committee, said that the bulk of the figure has been devoted to ordnance.
Assuming this is entirelly honest, this is only the direct costs of the US military action, not the military costs of Israel which the US subsidizes or indirect costs to American businesses and consumers due to higher energy costs as well as due to, higher in various production chains a lack or higher prices of things produced in plants in counries in the area which are US allies and hence were destroyed by Iran or which are exported in routes that go via the Strait.
And then on top of the above described costs for the US, all the non-military costs also apply to the rest of the World almost certainly adding up to many-fold the costs for the US. Even in an American-centric perspective the ill-will towards the US from this has future costs for the US in terms of missing international business opportunities and reduced preference abroad for American products.
Then on top of that there is additional damage to the image of the US at governmental level all over the World which can even accelerated the end of the Reserve Currency status for the USD, and which depending on much that’s accelerated would mean Economic losses for the US next to which the $25 billion are a microscopic amount.
