U.S. officials told CBS News the true cost of Operation Epic Fury in Iran is approximately $50 billion, roughly double the Pentagon's publicly stated $25 billion estimate disclosed to Congress this week. The gap reflects undiscounted expenses including munitions replacement, destroyed equipment, military installations damage, and the loss of 24 MQ-9 Reaper drones worth $30 million each.
