A senior administration official says the Pentagon is seeking $200 billion in additional funds for the Iran war.

Pentagon seeking $200B more for Iran war, official says

"It takes money to kill bad guys," Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday.

The US spent $11.3b in the 1st WEEK of the war.

US spent $11.3 billion in first week of war with Iran​

So if we spend about $11b a week, and we're out of targets already, why do we need $200b? That math doesn't work for me.

Seems like we're hitting too many cheap targets with expensive weapons. Fine, better than sending in troops, but still, $200b? NFW

Absolutely, whatever the military needs.

Well worth it in the long run. Look how cooperative Venezuela is being now, and how Cuba is falling apart. Other Presidents have tried dealing with Cuba and they failed.

We have to make up for billions Biden left behind and the $40 million per week sent thereafter to the Taliban in Afghanistan.

 

[leftwinger]

Yes with cuts elsewhere (Fraud). Or take free Oil from Iran or Venezuela to cover $200B. We saved them after all.

So Jared can rebuild Tel Aviv?

We're not going to be able to rebuild our bases in the ME

WTF $200B -- for what?

 

[kyzr]

Yes, Trump wants $1.5T for the WAR Dept for 2027, a $500b bump from this year.

 

[Dr Grump]

Ha

Well worth it in the long run. Look how cooperative Venezuela is being now, and how Cuba is falling apart. Other Presidents have tried dealing with Cuba and they failed.

Ha! A tinpot dictatorship and a marginalised island vs 93 people half a world away. Whaddya do for an encorse, try and convince us that the guy batting last in the Rookie league should be the designated hitter fo the Yankees?

Probably to buy newer better bombs and other equipment. Stuff probably has shelf life? May as well use it now rather than scrap $200B. Terrorist are a good use of old stock.

Not without cuts or fraud fixed elsewhere I would hope. Or make other Countries pay up for saving them again.

Wow - so Israel is going to pay US$ billions back to the USA - great!!

We take Oil from both Venezuela & Iran for the strategic reserve. Or make the Arab Billionaires pay $50B each for cleaning up their sandbox. Gotta be a way.

If we're out of targets, the war would be over.

Yes, authorize the 200B. Surely we've saved that and more on illegal aliens we did NOT add to the federal welfare programs since January 20, 2025. The weapons are getting older anyway. Great opportunity to field test them in real-world conditions when it isn't fighting China over Taiwan, or Denmark over Greenland.

Showing them that our expensive weapons aren't just toys for show is a good way to obviate the need for us to ever do those things.

Sound investment, if it can make Iran into a reliable trading partner instead of a once-modern country now run by theocratic end-times fanatics.

The entire War Department budget was $900b. A $200b add for a short war is nonsense. Here's $50b spend it wisely.

Then Trump wants another $500b add for 2027. NFW

Military doesnt need it. Trump does.

Nonsense. We are going to be flushing a quarter to a half a trillion on this debacle.

Let's start by draining Trump's bank accounts. He started it. Let him pay for it.

Another madman. Why does he need money if the war was won? Why are you so loyal to this buffoon??????"???????

Jesus. I should have kept reading. You support and you dont even know this stuff.
