Pentagon needs $80 billion for Iran War - WSJ

The Pentagon needs $80 billion to cover costs from the Iran war as well as other non-war-related bills, Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg told lawmakers in phone calls this week, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the discussions.

Axar.az informs that according to the WSJ, lawmakers have been pressing the Trump administration to provide a comprehensive price tag for the war, which started Feb. 28.

Among lawmakers’ concerns is that the military depleted valuable munitions that might be needed to confront threats elsewhere around the world, the report said.
