U.S. military reports high costs and casualties in conflict with Iran

The Pentagon has released figures on the early stages of a war with Iran, reporting significant financial costs and casualties. Officials said the first six days of the conflict cost the U.S. about $11.3 billion, with an estimated $5.6 billion spent on munitions alone. They also reported that seven U.S. service members have been killed and around 140 wounded, including eight with severe injuries.

The Pentagon announced it is elevating an investigation into a strike on a school in Iran. Separately, a report suggests the Pentagon had previously reduced the number of civilian oversight officials before that strike occurred.
