A meeting participant said the war is "escalating throughout the Gulf region," asserted that Iran has begun retaliating against U.S. allies with bases in the region, and urged that Congress be briefed on a clear plan or "endgame" before further strikes. The speaker argued that strikes that remove leadership without a follow-up plan risk continued fighting and cited an estimated cost of about $1 billion per day, roughly $14 billion over 14 days, as a reason for greater congressional oversight.
