U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Congress that the Iran war has already cost $37.5 billion, warning that the Pentagon now needs an additional $67 billion to replenish depleted weapons stockpiles. Appearing alongside Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine on Capitol Hill, Hegseth described the funding request as urgent and necessary to maintain U.S. military readiness. The proposal has sparked fresh debate over defense spending, the cost of the Iran conflict, and America’s long-term military strategy.
