The report this week highlights the growing price tag for the war, which began on February 28. A lasting ceasefire has remained out of reach as the conflict continues into its eighth month.

He told Al Jazeera that Iran has managed to achieve a degree of success in damaging US military hardware and bases in the Middle East.
