- Uncertainty over the operation's length has arisen as the U.S. Department of Defense has not published a cost estimate nor requested supplemental funding, with varying timeline options of two, four and six weeks, Congress included.
- CSIS found the war costs about $891.4 million daily, with air, naval and ground operations as main expenses, ground operations costing $1.6 million daily.
- Analysts project steep costs if operations intensify, with a two-month war estimated between $40 and $95 billion, said Kent Smetters, faculty director, Penn Wharton Budget Model.
- Compared with June 2025's Operation Midnight Hammer, which cost less despite large bombs and stealth bombers, Costs of War estimated last year’s strikes at $2.04 to $2.26 billion, while the Iraq war cost almost $3 trillion.
