Iran Conflict Fallout and Pentagon Budget
Description
Congress grapples with the fallout of a costly, unauthorized war in Iran that lasted four months and cost billions—lawmakers split over whether it made us safer or was a strategic disaster. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushes for a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget, with Republicans potentially approving $350 billion without Democratic support. Some lawmakers demand accountability, including withholding travel funds until the Pentagon delivers reports—like one on a deadly school strike allegedly based on flawed intelligence. A new Iran nuclear deal offers hope for peace, but questions linger over its terms and the massive financial toll.
