Scott Perry: ‘I would actually like to see Iran pay’ for war
- On Thursday, the Pentagon requested $200 billion from Congress to fund the ongoing bombing campaign against Iran, which began February 28 and has killed 1,500 Iranians, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and 13 American servicemen.
- Operation Epic Fury consumes an estimated $1 billion daily after the U.S. and Israel launched joint missile strikes, prompting the Pentagon to deploy three warships with up to 2,500 Marines to Central Command.
- Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Scott Perry argued Iran should compensate the United States for war costs, claiming the nation has been "at war with us for 47 years" and its infrastructure is too decimated to capitalize on oil sales to China or India.
- Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert opposed the funding request Thursday, telling CNN she is a "no" on war supplementals and cited frustration with the "industrial-war complex" while Colorado constituents struggle with living costs.
- Officials note Iran has been siphoning resources from its population for over four and a half decades, as the administration faces challenges securing support for the massive supplemental package amid rising skepticism regarding the war's financial toll.
