Pentagon's $200B Iran War Supplemental Faces Bipartisan Resistance; Hegseth Offers No Timeline for End of Operations

The Pentagon's $200B supplemental request for Iran war operations faces bipartisan resistance. Defense Secretary Hegseth declined to provide a timeline, stating 'it takes money to kill bad guys.' Even staunch Trump allies like Rep. Boebert declared 'a no on any war supplemental.' The first week of strikes consumed $11B, with operations burning roughly $1B/day, a rate that would exhaust the supplemental in 140 days if approved. Congress demands both a funding rationale and an exit strategy before considering the request.
