The Proxy War Escalates: Trump's Warning Sign for Iran Negotiations The latest development in the US Iran relations saga involves a congressional vote on a budget resolution that provides funding for various government initiatives, including defense and intelligence operations.

This totals $73 billion dedicated to addressing the military conflict with Iran, a country at odds with the US for years. The Pentagon has warned that it's running out of money to conduct operations in the region.
