Trump administration seeks $87.6 billion for Iran war costs

The White House has requested $87.6 billion from Congress, primarily for "urgent needs" related to the US war on Iran, following a congressional resolution rebuking the military action.

The White House has formally requested Congress approve $87.6 billion in funding, primarily to address "urgent needs" associated with the United States' military involvement in Iran. This request follows a congressional resolution passed just a day prior, which expressed disapproval of the military action. The majority of the proposed funds, $67 billion, is earmarked for the Department of Defense. This allocation includes $21 billion for munitions, $17.3 billion for operational expenditures, and an additional $12.1 billion designated for classified programs, according to the White House.
