The cost of the US-Iran conflict is becoming a major political flashpoint in Washington, D.C. Secretary Of War Pete Hegseth appeared before a Senate committee to defend billions of dollars in additional military funding, saying the conflict has already cost the United States $37.5 billion and warning that the Pentagon needs roughly $87.6 billion more to sustain operations and modernise military capabilities. The hearing quickly turned confrontational as protesters interrupted proceedings and Democratic lawmakers accused the Trump administration of lacking a long-term strategy. Hegseth rejected those claims, defending the military campaign and arguing that continued funding is essential for US national security. Cary Johnston brings you all the details on Firstpost America.
