The United States government confirmed that it has already allocated 25 billion dollars to the war against Iran. The figure was presented to Congress as part of a clear strategy: to prevent the regime from moving towards the development of nuclear weapons.
The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, strongly defended the policy promoted by Donald Trump.
An expenditure focused on defense and deterrence The Pentagon explained that the investment focused on
:
Replenishment of strategic munitions
Naval operations in
the Middle East
Maintenance of deployed forces Replacement of
military equipment
The objective is to sustain
operational capacity in
a high-tension scenario.
“It's not an eternal war,”
Hegseth was clear to lawmakers.

But he warned that firm action is needed to avoid a greater risk.
The priority is to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear capacity.

for 2027.

Expansion of military drones
Development of anti-missile systems

Political criticism and strong response During the
session, democratic sectors questioned the approach

A strategic decision
