The Pentagon is requesting over $200 billion in funding from Congress to support military operations against Iran as costs escalate following recent strikes.
The Pentagon has made a significant request to Congress for over $200 billion to fund the ongoing military operations against Iran, according to a report by the Washington Post. This funding is primarily aimed at replenishing the stock of weapons that have been depleted during recent US-Israeli military actions. If the request is granted, it would dramatically increase costs that have already surpassed $11 billion within the first week of operations, which included strikes that eliminated several high-ranking Iranian officials, such as Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
