Lawmakers Brace for Emergency Funding as Iran War Goes Open-Ended

Lawmakers who attended classified briefings expect President Trump to request an emergency supplemental for the Iran war, amid descriptions of a vast, open-ended military operation. While some Republicans anticipate support, Democrats say they need more details on goals and endgame before approving new Pentagon cash. Any supplemental would come on top of hundreds of billions already approved this year, including about $150 billion in recent funding and roughly $839 billion in regular defense spending, with officials indicating a fuller spending package is forthcoming as the administration faces questions about planning and strategy.
