Washington (USA), Mar. 18 (LaPresse) – The Pentagon has asked the White House to approve a request to the U.S. Congress for more than 200 billion dollars to help fund the war in Iran, according to a report by The Washington Post citing a senior U.S. administration official. The proposal is aimed at sustaining military operations and replenishing weapons and equipment used in the ongoing conflict, but it is expected to face significant political resistance in Congress. Some White House officials reportedly doubt that such a large funding package will be approved by lawmakers.
