Data from U.S. Central Command shows that total operation costs have reached $47 billion. This amount includes $29 billion spent solely on replenishing ammunition. Previous reports had estimated lower figures for the war effort in the region.

Inspector general reports to Congress detail damage to military bases and diplomatic facilities. Losses at sites in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates total $184 million. The government is now weighing whether to seek an agreement or intensify military actions.

The climate of geopolitical uncertainty and rising public spending tends to increase risk aversion in global markets. This environment typically strengthens the dollar as a store of value and impacts the volatility of digital assets like Bitcoin.
