"It Takes Money To Kill Bad Guys": Hegseth On Pentagon's Funding Request Post Iran War

Iran intensified its attacks on oil and natural gas facilities around the Gulf on Thursday, raising the stakes in a war that is sending shock waves through the global economy. At the Pentagon, both U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force General Dan Caine said Iran continued to have missile capability, despite facing US and Israeli strikes since the war began on February 28th. The Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the Iran war, a senior administration official says. The department sent the request to the White House, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private information.
