WASHINGTON (AURN News) — This was the deadliest weekend yet in the war between the United States and Iran. Two American troops were killed and a third was reported missing after Iran struck a U.S. base in Jordan. Another U.S. service member died in Iraq, and dozens more were wounded. Seventeen U.S. troops have been killed since February, and the strikes have not stopped for more than nine days.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine are scheduled to appear before the Senate on Tuesday to defend funding for a war with no clear endgame. The administration’s original $87.6 billion request is reportedly climbing toward $200 billion, on top of a $95 billion package the House approved last week.
No one in the administration has clearly laid out what winning looks like or how long American troops and taxpayers will continue paying for it beyond the battlefield.
Gas topped $4 a gallon this morning, tied directly to the fighting. The war keeps getting more expensive in dollars and in lives, while the mission still seems unclear.
