The Pentagon is reportedly seeking $80 billion in additional funding to cover costs linked to the ongoing Iran conflict as well as other defense-related obligations, according to The Wall Street Journal. US Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg informed lawmakers that the department may soon submit a broader supplemental budget request to Congress. While the exact financial impact of the US–Iran conflict remains uncertain, analysts estimate that the overall economic cost could reach as high as $1 trillion, reflecting the growing scale and pressure of the geopolitical situation.
