The Washington Post: The Pentagon has applied for over $200 billion in funding for a war against Iran

The US Department of Defense has submitted an emergency appropriation request to Congress to replenish the weapons inventory consumed in the past three weeks of strikes against Iran.

The Trump administration acknowledges that the funding plan has a very slim chance of being approved. Democrats are critical of the war, and Republicans currently lack a clear strategy to secure the necessary 60 votes in the Senate.

The Pentagon has proposed multiple financing plans, but the total amount that will be submitted for voting at the White House is still undetermined.
