The Pentagon is asking the U.S. Congress for as much as $80 billion for the cost of the war with Iran.

The article discusses the US administration's request for an additional $80 billion in funding, including for the Pentagon and non-defense priorities such as agricultural aid and disaster relief. It notes that the cost of the war with Iran has been estimated at around $25 billion by a Pentagon official, but the total cost remains uncertain. The initial request for $200 billion in additional funding faced strong opposition from lawmakers. The proposed budget reflects Republican priorities ahead of mid-term elections, while also highlighting growing public concern over rising living costs, high 

List navodi da bi potpuni dodatni zahtjev američke administracije za finansiranje, koji će uključivati sredstva za Pentagon, ali i za prioritete koji nisu vezani za odbranu, poput pomoći poljoprivredi i saniranja posljedica katastrofa, mogao biti upućen zakonodavcima narednih dana.

Rat s Iranom koštao je oko 25 milijardi dolara, rekao je zvaničnik Pentagona Reutersu u aprilu, iznoseći prvu zvaničnu procjenu ratnih troškova.

Međutim, ukupna cijena sukoba, koji je Trump započeo zajedno s Izraelom 28. februara, i dalje je otvoreno pitanje na Capitol Hillu, a početni zahtjev za dodatnih 200 milijardi dolara finansiranja naišao je na snažno protivljenje zakonodavaca.

Direktor Ureda za budžet Bijele kuće Russell Vought rekao je tokom saslušanja pred Budžetskim odborom Predstavničkog doma u aprilu da nema procjenu troškova rata, dok je branio Trumpov zahtjev za godišnji vojni budžet od 1,5 biliona dolara.

Predloženi budžet odražava prioritete Republikanske stranke uoči novembarskih izbora na sredini mandata, na kojima stranka nastoji zadržati kontrolu nad Kongresom, ali se suočava sa sve većom zabrinutošću birača zbog rasta troškova života, visokih cijena energije i finansijskog tereta rata s Iranom.
