US House Passes $1.15 Trillion Defense Bill Amid Democratic Opposition Over Israel-Iran Conflict

The House of Representatives passed a $1.15 trillion defense bill despite strong opposition from Democrats, largely due to tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran. Democrats criticized Trump for supporting Israeli strikes on Iran without congressional approval and opposed provisions that could deepen US-Israel defense cooperation. The bill also includes $60 billion in additional military spending, most of which is expected to cover conflict-related expenses. The bill will now move to the Senate.
