The White House is seeking $87 billion from Congress to sustain operations in Iran, with over $67 billion earmarked for the ongoing conflict—including weapons, logistics, and classified expenses. Lawmakers are divided: Republicans support the funding as vital for national security, while Democrats challenge the strategy and mounting costs.
