Three weeks into Operation Epic Fury, President Trump says the U.S. is "considering winding down" military operations against Iran, even as the Pentagon requests $200 billion in supplemental war funding and deploys additional Marines to the Persian Gulf. The conflict, launched without Congressional authorization on February 28, has killed at least 13 American troops and over 1,200 Iranian civilians, sent oil prices soaring past $90 a barrel, and triggered a Strait of Hormuz blockade that disrupts 20% of global seaborne oil trade.
