The Pentagon has requested $200 billion for an operation against Iran - media

Pentagon officials are seeking the allocation of more than $200 billion to continue military operations against Iran.

This is reported by The Washington Post, citing a senior American official.

"The Pentagon has asked the White House to approve a request to Congress for the allocation of more than $200 billion to fund the war in Iran," the publication states.

The authors note that such a request is likely to face resistance from lawmakers who advocate for the earliest possible end to the conflict in the Middle East.
