Washington is negotiating with regional allies to obtain financial contributions for the reconstruction of U.S. military installations damaged during the conflict with Iran. The Pentagon estimates that the cost to repair structures at 24 bases across seven countries ranges from $5 billion to $15 billion, depending on whether the U.S. decides to rebuild all facilities hit during the fighting.

These reconstruction costs are separate from the $47.1 billion the Pentagon reported to Congress as the total cost of the war through Oct 16, which includes $29 billion to replace munitions. Satellite analysis from the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal found that Iranian drone and missile strikes targeted more than 270 buildings, focusing first on air defenses and radar before expanding to aircraft hangars and troop barracks.
