华盛顿讯——弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员马克·华纳周日表示,当被问及如果白宫向国会申请更多对伊朗战争拨款时他是否会反对时,他会“审视任何相关提案”。
“但本届总统本应先告知美国民众和国会:‘我将选择开战,以下是我试图达成的目标’,”华纳在接受《与玛格丽特·布伦南会面》节目采访时说道。

随着议员们将于本周结束两周休假返回国会,白宫即将提出的追加拨款申请或将成为焦点。
这场战争的耗资仍不明朗。军方官员告知国会议员,仅开战第一周就花费了约113亿美元。上周《华盛顿邮报》报道称,白宫预计将申请800亿至1000亿美元的追加拨款,较上月五角大楼最初似乎寻求的2000亿美元申请额度有所缩减。国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟上月在新闻发布会上并未否认这一数字,但他当时表示“该数字可能会变动”。
这项拨款申请或将在国会引发争议。民主党持续批评总统对战争的处理方式,而一些共和党人则表示,如果战争在60天期限前仍未结束,他们的支持可能会终止——根据1973年《战争权力决议》,未经授权的军事行动期限不得超过60天。
作为参议院情报委员会副主席,华纳称本届政府本该在开战之初就明确战争目标,他表示:“所谓政权更迭、铀资源、导弹以及霍尔木兹海峡这四大目标,我们是在开战约10天后才知晓的。”
“平心而论,我认为目前我们尚未达成其中任何一个目标,”华纳补充道。
去年,国防部通过《一揽子宏伟法案》获得了超过1500亿美元拨款。国会今年早些时候还批准了8390亿美元的五角大楼年度开支预算。特朗普先生2027财年的预算提案要求国会拨款1.5万亿美元用于国防开支,该提案将与追加拨款申请分别审议。

Sen. Mark Warner says he’ll “take a look” at Trump funding request for Iran war
April 12, 2026 / 1:32 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia said on Sunday that he would “take a look at anything” when asked whether he would oppose additional funding for the war with Iran if the White House asks Congress for more money.
“But this president should have come to the American people and Congress first and said, ‘I’m going to choose to go to war, here’s what I want to try to accomplish,’” Warner said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”

With lawmakers set to return from a two-week recess this week, the forthcoming supplemental funding request from the White House could take center stage.
The price tag for the war remains unclear. Military officials told members of Congress that the first week of the war alone cost around $11.3 billion. And the Washington Post reported last week that the White House is expected to request between $80 billion and $100 billion in supplemental funding, scaling back the ask from the $200 billion the Pentagon had appeared to initially seek last month. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not deny the figure at a news conference last month, though he said at the time “that number could move.”
The request could prove contentious in Congress. Democrats have continued to rail against the president for his handling of the war, while some Republicans have said that their support could run out if the war doesn’t end before the 60-day mark — the cap on any unauthorized engagements under the 1973 War Powers Resolution.
Warner, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the administration should have been clear about its goals in the war out of the gate, saying that “those four goals of regime change, uranium, missiles and the Strait of Hormuz, we only got those goals about 10 days into the war.”
“And on any honest assessment, I don’t think we’ve accomplished any of them so far,” Warner added.
Last year, the Defense Department received more than $150 billion in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Congress also approved $839 billion in annual spending for the Pentagon earlier this year. Mr. Trump’s budget proposal for fiscal year 2027 asks Congress for $1.5 trillion in defense spending, which would be considered separately from a supplemental funding request.
