The Pentagon demands an additional $80 billion for military needs
According to reports on the media channels Al Mayadeen and Al Jazeera, which rely on a publication in the 'Wall Street Journal', the US Department of Defense (the Pentagon) has updated lawmakers in Washington on an urgent need for a significant budget supplement.
The required sum, estimated at $80 billion, is intended, as noted in the Al Mayadeen report, to cover "needs related to the war with Iran" and additional security costs. Al Jazeera channel also highlighted the report, noting that it concerns "paying for the costs of the war with Iran and additional expenses."
It is important to note that these channels, which are identified with a critical line regarding US and Israeli policy in the Middle East, highlighted this figure as part of a broad American preparation in the face of Iran. The reports were also distributed by Al Mayadeen Iraq and Beirut Time, which adopt the narrative that the United States is in the midst of an economic and military escalation process against Tehran.
