US Department of War Requests $200 Billion for New US and Israeli Attacks

The US Department of War is requesting $200 billion from the White House to be submitted to Congress for approval to fund the war against Iran, which is in its third week, according to the Washington Post. The amount far exceeds the cost of previous airstrikes and is likely related to the urgent production of critical weapons systems. It is expected to face resistance in the US federal parliament from members who oppose the war.
