Pentagon funding and pay-for-Iran measures may be delayed, correspondent says

Chad Pergrim explained that two efforts exist to fund the Pentagon and pay for the conflict in Iran: the annual defense policy bill (which Senate Democrats recently blocked) and a separate budget framework that, Pergrim stressed, is only a blueprint and carries no immediate appropriations. "In fact, dollars for the military may not even come until December, if then," Pergrim said.

Pergrim described the defense policy bill as a vehicle that Senate Democrats have blocked recently, and he said the budget framework offers planning but not cash. The segment did not include Pentagon or Senate representatives to clarify whether funds will be routed by another vehicle or timing beyond December.
