What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

The President is seeking Congressional authorization to proceed with military action against Iran. This comes as the cost of the military campaign has reached $37.5 billion, and the administration has requested an additional $87 billion in funding for future operations. Strikes have targeted Iranian military infrastructure in the Strait of Hormuz.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The hostilities have led to Iran choking off transit through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping channel for global oil exports. This disruption, combined with the military campaign, has caused fuel prices to rise rapidly in areas like San Diego.

The Senate and House previously voted to restrict military action following attacks on Iran.
