🇺🇸🇮🇷Pentagon Seeks $200B+ for Iran War Funding The Pentagon has asked the White House to approve a funding request exceeding $200 billion for the ongoing conflict with Iran. This request follows three weeks of extensive US and Israeli military operations against Iranian targets. The funds are designated to replenish and expand critical weapons stockpiles, ensuring continued military readiness. However, some administration officials have expressed doubt that such a substantial request will be approved by Congress. Initial costs have already proven substantial, exceeding $11 billion in the first week alone. A major political battle is anticipated, as public support is weak and lawmakers are divided on the matter - especially, ahead of this year's midterms. The funding push comes after thousands of strikes rapidly depleted weapon stockpiles. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
