Hegseth revealed how much the war in Iran cost the American taxpayer.

The cost of the US war with Iran has risen to $37.5 billion, according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who testified before skeptical lawmakers regarding the renewed Middle East conflict requiring new funding. The timing comes six months before midterm elections where Republican candidates for Donald Trump could lose their majority in both houses of Congress. Democrats are gaining in polls by linking the unpopular war in Iran with rising living costs. Hegseth stated that this figure includes certain aspects of the war and expected costs up to September 30, though it remains unclear how the Pentagon arrived at this number. Earlier reports indicated that the first six days of the war alone cost at least $11.3 billion. President Trump requested nearly $90 billion in additional funds from Congress last month, most tied to the conflict with Iran, sparking new battles in Congress among frustrated representatives and upcoming elections. Both Republicans and Democrats have criticized Trump and his administration since the start of the war on February 28 for not adequately informing them about the conflict or future plans. Democratic Representative Patty Murray warned that the president,

USA: Hegseth claims the war in Iran has cost $37.5 billion so far

Američki ministar rata Pete Hegseth naveo je da je trošak rata s Irandom dostigao 37,5 milijardi dolara, uključujući troškove do 30. rujna. Ovo je dio šire rasprave o financiranju rata u Kongresu, gdje se demokrati i republikanci sukobljavaju oko dodatnih sredstava. Trump je tražio 90 milijardi dolara za ratne operacije, što je izazvalo frustraciju među članovima Kongresa, posebno zbog nedostatka transparentnosti i informacija. Demokratski članovi Kongresa kritizirali su Trumpovu vladu za nedostatak informacija o ratu i za kontradiktorne izjave. Hegseth je zahtijevao brzo dopunjavanje sredstava i dodatni proračun za 2027. godinu, uz opominje da bi odluka protiv toga predstavljala prijetnju državi.

Bias read (Center): Članak neutralno prikazuje raznorazne stavove i argumente između demokrata i republikanaca o financiranju rata s Irandom. Nema jasno izraženog stranih stavova, a izvoreni podaci su objektivno prikazani bez evidentnog političkog slanja. Čak i kritika Trumpove vlade prikazana je kao povratna informacij
