Pentagon seeks $80 billion from Congress for Iran war
The Pentagon has requested $80 billion from Congress to cover U.S. war costs against Iran, part of a broader $1.5 trillion military spending push by President Donald Trump. Lawmakers are skeptical, citing concerns over the war's justification and domestic financial pressures, while the funding includes replenishing munitions, repairing equipment, and operational costs but excludes damage to U.S. military sites.
