🇺🇸🇮🇷THE PENTAGON WANTS MORE THAN $200 BILLION FROM CONGRESS TO FUND WAR WITH IRAN. ⨯ [The Washington Post]

🤍The request significantly exceeds current spending on air strikes and is likely to face political resistance: Democrats are critical, while Republicans have yet to decide on their support.
🤍The funds will primarily be used to replenish ammunition stockpiles and ramp up production of weapons used in the joint US-Israeli campaign.
🤍Preliminary costs have already exceeded $11 billion in the first week of the conflict alone.
🤍Experts note that the request will test the war's popularity, and limitations in the US defense industry could slow rapid replenishment, even with significant funding. ........................................................................
