The U.S. is facing total chaos

As three unnamed U.S. officials stated, the $5.6 billion figure illustrates how costly the attacks have been.

They did not specify how much or what types of ammunition were used in the first days of the war in Iran.

The Trump administration is expected to submit a request to Congress for additional defense funding as early as this week—potentially totaling tens of billions of dollars—to help sustain the campaign in Iran, the officials said.

The request for additional funding will likely face opposition from many Democrats, whose previous attempts to restrain the Trump administration from further military actions in Iran have been unsuccessful.

The Pentagon’s chief spokesperson, Sean Parnell, said in a statement that the Department of Defense has "everything it needs to carry out any mission at the time and place the President chooses and within any timeframe," responding to questions from The Washington Post about the status of U.S. weapons stockpiles.

The United States Central Command, which oversees military operations across the Middle East, reported that more than 5,000 targets have been hit in Iran.

The Washington Post states that Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to improve the accuracy of their strikes against U.S. forces.

In the war with Iran, which has entered its 11th day, seven U.S. soldiers have been killed—six during an Iranian drone attack in Kuwait and one in an attack in Saudi Arabia.

In a friendly-fire incident in Kuwait, three U.S. F-15 fighters were shot down, each estimated to be worth around $100 million.
