US war in Iran cost $37.5 billion so far, Pentagon says

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth informed Congress that the US war against Iran has cost $37.5 billion so far. Hegseth faced questions and protests during a Senate hearing regarding the conflict. Meanwhile, Iran-aligned Houthis issued threats in the Red Sea, causing two tankers to reverse course and disrupting key energy chokepoints. Additionally, an AP-NORC poll indicates that most Americans continue to disapprove of how Trump is handling the situation regarding Iran and the ongoing military engagement.
