U.S. Defense Funding Request and Lawmaker Warns of Limited Options in Iran Conflict

U.S. Defense Funding Request and Lawmaker Warns of Limited Options in Iran Conflict

Republican Representative Mike Turner told the Senate Appropriations Committee that President Donald Trump has few viable options in the Iran conflict, urging continued pressure on Tehran. Earlier, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had testified before the same committee, stating that the war with Iran has already cost $37. 5 billion and requesting an additional $67 billion to sustain operations and replenish munitions.

Shipping analysts warned that the fighting could disrupt traffic in the Bab el-Mandeb and Strait of Hormuz, and a Salon. com report noted that the cited figure is lower than internal Department of Defense estimates.
