The war with Iran has cost the US $37.5bn so far, an increase of $8bn since May, according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He told the Senate Appropriations Committee he needs $87bn in urgent funding, with $67bn for Middle East operations, or military training will be curtailed. The hearing was repeatedly interrupted by anti-war protesters, and the White House has requested a record $1.5tn for the Pentagon for the next fiscal year.
