The war on Iran has cost the U.S. at least $11.3 billion in its first six days, with officials estimating a potential $50 billion funding request. The conflict, which began with U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, has killed approximately 2,000 people and disrupted global markets. Lawmakers are concerned about depleting military stocks and demand public testimony on the administration's war plans.
