The White House is demanding $87 billion in emergency funds—$67 billion earmarked for escalating war in Iran—as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine testify before Congress. Democrats blast it as an “unapproved forever war,” citing $37.5 billion already spent and daily costs nearing $900 million. Four U.S. soldiers killed in recent Iranian attacks underscore the human cost, while Hegseth warns funding gaps threaten readiness and pay. Republicans defend the request, stressing the need to replenish munitions and maintain military strength, as Iran continues nuclear pursuits despite claims its sites were destroyed.
