Pentagon funding Iran war despite Congress not appropriating funds; its own estimate puts cost above $43.6bn as of Sept. 3

The Pentagon is paying for Iran war operations even though Congress has not funded the war. A Pentagon update shared with Congress estimates the war has cost more than $43.6 billion as of Sept. 3, above the CBO's Sept. 15 figure of $38 billion. Six U.S. officials say at least 22 service members have died since Feb. 28 — more than the Pentagon has publicly disclosed.
