- ‘要消灭坏人需要资金，’赫格斯泰特表示
- 国会已大幅增加五角大楼预算
- 部分共和党人也对可能的请求规模感到惊讶
华盛顿，3月19日（路透社） – 美国军方要求为伊朗战争追加2000亿美元资金的请求周四在国会遭遇强烈反对，此前去年大幅增加了国防拨款，民主党人甚至部分共和党人质疑这笔资金的必要性。
一名美国官员证实《华盛顿邮报》的报道称，美国国防部已向白宫申请一项超过2000亿美元的请求，用于资助伊朗战争。

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普尚未向参众两院提交这一巨额资金请求，其政府明确表示金额可能会有所调整。
“显然这个数字可能会变动。要消灭坏人需要资金，”国防部长彼得·赫格斯泰特周四在新闻发布会上表示，”因此我们将重返国会，确保我们有足够的资金支持已开展的行动以及未来可能采取的行动。”
早期迹象显示，这场战争将是美国自伊拉克和阿富汗长期冲突以来代价最高昂的战争。政府官员告诉议员，伊朗战争的头六天已花费超过110亿美元。
民调显示，这场战争并不受欢迎，仅有约四分之一的美国人表示支持。
自特朗普2025年1月开始其第二任期以来，共和党主导的国会已批准创纪录的军事预算。上个月，他签署了《2026财年国防拨款法案》，其中包含约8400亿美元资金。
去年夏天，在民主党强烈反对下，共和党主导的国会通过了一项全面减税和支出法案，其中包含1560亿美元国防开支。
民主党人质疑，在削减社会服务、对外援助和其他项目的背景下，五角大楼为何还需要更多资金，并表示”任何反对这场战争的人都不应投票支持资助它”。
国会要求更多信息
美以联军于2月28日发起针对伊朗的军事行动。随着战争进入第三周，民主党人和部分共和党议员纷纷要求特朗普政府就这场已造成数千人死亡、数百万民众生活受影响并扰乱全球能源和股市的冲突计划提供更多细节。
“我们刚刚听说五角大楼正在为这场战争申请2000亿美元追加资金。我们到底该如何支付这笔钱？这简直荒谬至极，”华盛顿州民主党众议员普拉米拉·贾亚帕尔在众议院演讲中表示。
在听取政府官员简报后，议员们估计这场战争每天花费10亿至20亿美元。
马里兰州民主党参议员克里斯·范·霍伦表示，国会成员不应考虑这一请求。”结束这场战争、保护我们的军队、拯救平民生命并约束无法无天的政府的最佳方式是切断资金。我坚决反对，”他在X平台上写道。
部分特朗普的共和党同僚似乎也对考虑中的金额感到惊讶。负责拨款委员会的共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯周三晚间在国会山告诉记者，她尚未收到2000亿美元补充请求的通知。
她说，这个数字”大大高于我之前的预期，但我不知道具体的分配情况”。
柯林斯还表示，她很可能希望就这一请求举行公开听证会。

- Summary
- ‘It takes money to kill bad guys,’ Hegseth says
- Congress has already boosted Pentagon funding
- Some Republicans also surprised at size of possible request
WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) – The U.S. military’s request for $200 billion in additional funding for the Iran war met with stiff opposition in the U.S. Congress on Thursday, as Democrats and even some Republicans questioned the need for the money after large defense appropriations last year.
A U.S. official confirmed a Washington Post report that the Department of Defense has asked the White House to approve a more than $200 billion request to Congress to fund the war in Iran.

President Donald Trump has not yet sent a request for the Senate and House of Representatives to approve the huge sum and his administration made clear the number could change.
“I think that number could move, obviously. It takes money to kill bad guys,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told a news conference on Thursday. “So we’re going back to Congress and folks there to ensure that we’re properly funded for what’s been done, for what we may have to do in the future.”
Early indications suggest that the war will be the most expensive for the U.S. since the long conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Administration officials told lawmakers that the first six days of the Iran war had cost more than $11 billion.
Opinion polls show that the war is not popular, with only about one in four Americans supporting it.
The Republican-led Congress has already approved record funding for the military since Trump began his second term in January 2025. Last month, he signed into law the Fiscal 2026 Defense Appropriations Act with about $840 billion in funding.
And last summer, over stiff opposition from Democrats, the Republican-led Congress passed a sweeping tax cut and spending bill that included $156 billion for defense.
Democrats questioned why the Pentagon needed more money, given recent cuts to social services, foreign aid and other programs, and said that no one who opposes the war should vote to fund it.
CONGRESS WANTS MORE INFORMATION
U.S. and Israeli forces launched the campaign against Iran on February 28. As the war neared the end of its third week, lawmakers, both Democrats and some Republicans, have clamored for more information about Trump’s plans for a conflict that has killed thousands of people, disrupted the lives of millions of others and roiled world energy and stock markets.
“We just heard that the Pentagon is putting forward a request for $200 billion more for this war. How on Earth are we going to pay for that? It is absolutely ridiculous,” Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington said in a speech in the House of Representatives.
After receiving briefings from administration officials, lawmakers estimated the war is costing $1 billion to $2 billion per day.
Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said the request should be a non-starter with members of Congress. “The best way to end this war, protect our troops, save civilian lives, and rein in a lawless Administration is to cut off funding. I’m a hell no,” he wrote on X.
Some of Trump’s fellow Republicans also seemed surprised at the amount being considered. Republican Senator Susan Collins, who chairs the Appropriations Committee, told reporters at the Capitol on Wednesday night she had not yet been notified about a $200 billion supplemental request.
She said the total is “considerably higher than I would have guessed, but I don’t know how it’s broken down.”
Collins also said she would most likely want a public hearing on such a request.
