The breakdown shows the core wartime costs stand at 43.6 billion dollars, with an additional 1.5 billion dollars spent on supplementary fuel expenses. The newly released figure has surpassed the 38-billion-U.S. dollar projection released by the U.S. Congressional Budget Office (CBO) for costs incurred up to August 1. Nevertheless, the Defense Department's 45.1-billion-dollar estimate fails to fully capture the complete financial toll of the military conflict. Sources pointed out that the assessment excludes funds required for repairing damaged military bases and facilities. It also lacks detailed breakdowns of indirect military operation costs, a set of financial data that Congress has formally requested.
