Pentagon seeks $200 billion in Iran war funding

The Pentagon is seeking 200 billion dollars in additional funds for the Iran war.  The Defense Department sent the 200 billion dollar request to the White House, according to a senior administration official. It’s an extremely high number and comes on top of extra funding the Pentagon already received last year in President Trump’s big tax cuts bill. The 200 billion dollar request questions concerns about how long the war may last — a military conflict the president has said would soon be over.
