US House passes $95 billion budget bill including Iran conflict funding and SAVE Act

The US-Iran conflict has significantly escalated, marked by confirmed US military expenditures of $37.5 billion and nearly 100 US casualties. Unverified reports indicate direct US missile strikes within Iran and Iranian threats of retaliatory strikes on US allies' energy infrastructure, alongside maritime incidents in the Strait of Hormuz. The scope and strategic objectives of these kinetic actions remain partially unverified, but indicate a widening and intensifying conflict.
