Washington — The United States Department of Defense, commonly known as the Pentagon, has reportedly requested more than $200 billion in funding from the White House to support ongoing war-related operations involving Iran.
According to reports, a senior administration official stated that the requested amount exceeds the total cost of operations carried out under the Trump administration so far.
The funding request is primarily aimed at significantly increasing the production of critical military weapons and equipment required for the conflict.
Foreign media reports indicate that the Pentagon has submitted several funding proposals over the past two weeks, with this latest request expected to trigger a major political debate within the U.S. Congress.
The development comes amid escalating tensions, as military preparedness and defense spending continue to rise in response to the evolving situation involving Iran.
