The Iran war cost the United States 38 billion dollars, inflation expectations rise

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stated that the Trump administration spent approximately $38 billion in the 5 months leading up to the war with Iran. The CBO predicts that the war will drive up inflation levels in the United States, with inflation indicators in early 2027 expected to be 0.5 percentage points higher than previously forecasted.

The ammunition stockpiles consumed by the war may take over 5 years to replenish, affecting the United States' ability to respond to other conflicts.
