US EditionPrice Tag of Iran War Mounts as Congress Waits on Funding Request
Congress debates White House funding request as Operation Epic Fury costs nearly $900 million daily and over 70% of voters worry about rising gas prices, poll shows.
- Yesterday, Congress prepared to review a White House request for funding for Operation Epic Fury, which CSIS estimates costs nearly 900 million dollars daily.
- Because current appropriations are being outpaced, the White House says it is unclear how large the request will be, with questions referred to the Office of Management and Budget.

- Polls show more than 7 in 10 voters are concerned that military action in Iran will raise fuel prices, with some Democrats already raising concerns about the cost.
