"Unlimited Money for Bombs": Democrats Slam Hegseth for Seeking $67B for Iran War

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth informed the Senate Appropriations Committee that the war on Iran has cost over $37 billion, though some reports suggest higher figures. Hegseth is requesting $80 billion in supplemental funding, with $67 billion specifically for the Iran conflict. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and other Democrats criticized this request, arguing that the administration lacks a viable plan to end the strikes, which have continued for eleven consecutive days as costs continue to soar.
