The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), allocating a record $1.15 trillion for the Pentagon's fiscal year 2027 budget, with a vote of 216 to 212. Lawmakers also approved an additional $73 billion for the military to fund operations against Iran. The votes, largely along party lines, were described as a "collapse of the bipartisan coalition." The bill now moves to the Senate, where its passage is uncertain due to Republican divisions and the White House's dissatisfaction with the allocated amount. A separate $95 billion budget resolution, primarily for the war against Iran, also passed exclusively with Republican votes, facing opposition from Democrats due to provisions on voter registration. The Pentagon has reportedly spent $37.5 billion on the conflict with Iran since February 2026, with unofficial estimates reaching $100 billion. Nearly 100 American military personnel were wounded in Iranian strikes on U.S. bases in July, and the Pentagon is seeking urgent additional funding for Middle East operations.
