— Sep 18, 2026
The Pentagon says the Iran-related war has cost about $43.6 billion through early September, with later estimates suggesting the total could be around $45.1 billion and reporting higher casualty counts than publicly disclosed. Most of the spending is on replenishing munitions and replacing lost equipment, while ongoing stockpile depletion is delaying weapon deliveries to allies.

Hegseth Names Musk, Luckey and Gingrich to Lead Pentagon Warfare Study
x/elon-musk
— Sep 30, 2026
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth named Elon Musk, Anduril founder Palmer Luckey and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to help lead Project Meridian, a roughly four-month Pentagon study of technologies for future warfare, from underground battlefields to space. The Pentagon says the effort will focus on identifying and fielding tools, but the appointments have raised conflict-of-interest concerns because Musk and Luckey’s companies hold defense contracts and both are major Republican political donors.

— Sep 17, 2026
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and fellow Senate Democrats urge Secretary of State Marco Rubio to ensure the State Department is fully involved in the Pentagon-led Europe Force Posture Review, arguing that ambassadors and diplomats must be consulted to account for diplomatic and alliance implications. Critics warn that sidelining State Department input could strain NATO ties, especially with Baltic states, as Russia intensifies hybrid threats, while the administration maintains an interagency review is needed to balance diplomacy with defense considerations as the review runs toward its year-end conclusion.
