Congressional Report Details 42 US Aircraft Lost or Damaged in Iran Conflict
A new Congressional Research Service report revealed that the United States military has lost or damaged at least 42 aircraft since the start of 'Operation Epic Fury' against Iran. The losses include F-15E Strike Eagles, KC-135 tankers, and an F-35A. The report estimates total military operational costs have reached $29 billion. This data comes as lawmakers demand greater oversight of the conflict's strategy following several 'friendly fire' incidents and retaliatory strikes on US bases in the region.
