The financial cost of the Iran war is rising, with the Congressional Budget Office estimating that the U.S. Department of War has spent $38.1 billion through August 1. The figure does not include the cost of repairing military facilities damaged in Iranian strikes. New images obtained by CBS News reveal the extent of the damage to American bases, while the reported loss of MQ-9 Reaper drones adds to the military toll.
