President Trump confirmed he will ask Congress for $200 billion in additional funding for military operations against Iran, describing the amount as "a small price to pay." The president cited "a lot of reasons" for the extra funding but did not provide specific details about how the money would be used.
The funding request comes as tensions with Iran continue to escalate, with ongoing military strikes being conducted by US forces. Iran has demonstrated significant missile capabilities, successfully targeting multiple Gulf states according to military assessments.
