Pentagon Seeks $200 Billion More for Iran War

“The Pentagon has asked the White House to approve a more than $200 billion request to Congress to fund the war in Iran, in an enormous new ask that is almost certain to run into resistance from lawmakers opposed to the conflict,” the Washington Post reports.

“That number would far surpass the costs of the administration’s massive airstrike campaign to date and instead seek to urgently increase production of critical weaponry expended as U.S. and Israeli forces have struck thousands of targets over the past three weeks.”
