Trump administration seeks additional $200B to fund war with Iran

President Trump claims the war in Iran will soon end, but the Pentagon is requesting $200 billion in additional funding as attacks on energy facilities across the Middle East intensify and global gas prices rise. European officials are considering efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while the U.S. accelerates deployment of thousands of Marines, despite Trump’s denial of putting troops on the ground. Congressional leaders are divided, with Republicans supporting the administration’s approach and Democrats focusing on rising costs and seeking to limit presidential war powers.
