Pentagon puts $25 billion price tag on Iran war, no end in sight

The Pentagon has announced that U.S. military operations in Iran have cost $25 billion so far. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the war before Congress, insisting it is not a quagmire, but lawmakers pressed him for an exit strategy. Hegseth and President Donald Trump, who ordered the operations, have not provided a clear answer on what comes next, according to a four-star general who testified.
