West Asia War Live: Trump Says 'Not Finished' Attacking Iran; Cost Reaches $37.5 Billion
The U.S. military completed its 11th night of strikes on Iran early Wednesday, targeting aircraft hangars and drone storage sites, as President Donald Trump warned the United States was 'not finished' attacking Iran. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified that the war has cost $37.5 billion so far, up from a previous estimate of $29 billion in mid-May. The strikes overshadowed diplomatic efforts in Pakistan to salvage an interim ceasefire deal that has collapsed. Iran has broadened its offensive against Gulf states, and its Houthi allies have threatened to blockade Saudi ports. Republicans are preparing a $95 billion package to fund the military, with Trump proposing a $1.5 trillion defense budget. The conflict has not loosened Iran's grip on the Strait of Hormuz, through which about one-fifth of the world's crude oil and natural gas was shipped before the war.
