Munitions Expenditures in Iran War Take Center Stage at Senate Hearing
The Pentagon is requesting $21 billion in emergency funds to replace munitions expended in the ongoing war with Iran, as top leaders testify before the Senate Appropriations Committee. The request is part of a nearly $90 billion supplemental budget. The conflict, now in its 11th day of resumed hostilities, has strained U.S. stockpiles of Patriot interceptors and long-range strike weapons, leading to limits on training and maintenance. Iran continues to attack targets in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain, including water and power infrastructure. Jordan intercepted three Iranian missiles, while Kuwait reported ongoing drone and missile attacks. U.S. casualties include three troops killed at Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti Air Base and one killed in Iraq during a controlled detonation. President Trump blamed Jordan for the base casualties, saying other operators could have prevented them.
