'We're fighting wars, we can't take care of daycare': Trump

US Donald Trump’s proposed budget ramps up military spending amid the war on Iran while slashing domestic programs, raising concerns over economic priorities and public backlash.

US President Donald Trump's administration has unveiled a new federal budget proposal that significantly expands military spending while imposing deep cuts on domestic programs, reflecting a shift toward a war-focused economic agenda.

The proposed budget allocates $1.5 trillion to the Pentagon, alongside an additional $200 billion earmarked for costs related to the war on Iran, as Trump faces declining approval ratings and rising fuel prices.

War drains resources

The sharp increase in military spending comes as the United States remains engaged in a war on Iran that has driven up costs and placed a growing strain on financial and military resources. The war cost Washington more than $11 billion in its first six days alone, with estimates placing daily expenditures at between $1 billion and $2 billion, while munitions stockpiles have been drawn down significantly, raising concerns about sustainability and replenishment.

The scale of the war has also prompted the Pentagon to seek more than $200 billion in additional funding and pushed defense officials to accelerate weapons production, as high-end systems are being consumed faster than they can be replaced. The proposed increase also aligns with a broader military buildup that includes investments in missile systems, naval assets, and advanced fighter jets, signaling preparations that extend beyond immediate battlefield needs.

Against this backdrop, the proposed budget reflects a broader reallocation of resources toward sustaining prolonged military operations, while partially offsetting rising military expenditures through cuts to domestic spending. The shift also comes as rising war-related expenditures add to fiscal pressures, with analysts warning that sustained military operations could further strain US public finances and contribute to broader economic uncertainty.

Domestic programs face major cuts

To fund the surge in military expenditure, the administration proposes a 10% reduction in non-military spending, equivalent to $73 billion, affecting sectors such as public health, education, housing, and scientific research.

Among the most significant cuts:

• Environmental Protection Agency: -52%
• National Science Foundation: -55%
• Small Business Administration: -67%

In contrast, the Justice Department would see a 13% increase to expand law enforcement capabilities.

'We're fighting wars'

During a closed-door Easter event that was briefly livestreamed, Trump outlined the administration’s priorities, stating: “We’re fighting wars… We can’t take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare… We have to take care of one thing: military protection.”

He added that individual states may need to shoulder the burden of funding social programs through higher taxes.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told Axios that they are "looking at fraud and waste and abuse," but other proposals under discussion include reducing Affordable Care Act subsidies and other spending that could leave hundreds of thousands without coverage while increasing premium costs, and saving the government over $30 billion.

The effort increases pressure within the GOP to finance the war on Iran and ICE, even as it risks political backlash over prioritizing military spending over healthcare access.

Political risks and internal tensions

The budget reflects a broader strategic vision centered on sustained US military aggression, with spending projected to rise by 42%, a pace exceeding that of the Reagan era and approaching levels seen before World War II.

The proposal raises concerns that working-class Americans, who once voted for Trump believing he would "end forever wars", will bear the cost of war through reduced social services.

The administration has justified the cuts by citing “fraud, waste, and abuse,” with Trump appointing Vice President JD Vance as a “Fraud Czar” tasked with targeting alleged misuse of funds, particularly in Democrat-led states. However, similar claims in the past, such as those associated with initiatives backed by Elon Musk, have faced criticism for overstating potential savings.

The proposal underscores a growing contradiction between expanding US military engagement abroad and tightening domestic spending, at a time when public support for the war on Iran remains low.

US-Israeli attacks on Iran nuclear sites carry severe risks: Araghchi

• By Al Mayadeen English
• 5 Apr 2026 14:08

Iran’s foreign minister warns that US-Israeli attacks on nuclear facilities, including Bushehr, risk radioactive contamination and threaten regional security.

Warnings are mounting over the consequences of the ongoing attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, as US-Israeli airstrikes targeting civilian nuclear sites raise fears of radioactive contamination across the region.

In identical letters sent to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and members of the Security Council, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stressed that the targeted facilities are devoted exclusively to peaceful purposes and operate under the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards regime.

“These unlawful attacks expose the entire region to the risk of radioactive contamination with grave humanitarian and environmental consequences, and as such shall not be left unattended,” the letters read.

Bushehr nuclear power plant at center of concerns

Particular concern has been directed at the Bushehr nuclear power plant, where repeated attacks on the active facility have heightened fears of a radiological disaster that impacts not only Iran, but the wider region.

Strikes carried out in close proximity to such a site represent a significant escalation, given the potential for catastrophic environmental and humanitarian fallout.

“The aggressors’ repeated strikes in the vicinity of the active nuclear power plant in Bushehr is extremely alarming; their proximity to an active nuclear facility constitutes an intolerable escalation entailing a grave risk of radiological release,” Araghchi said.

UN and IAEA response slammed

He also sharply criticized the IAEA's lack of response to the US-Israeli attacks, particularly as international bodies fail to take a clear stance. While this has been the precedent, as seen during the 12-day war on Iran, Aaraghchi blasted the nuclear agency and the United Nations for their lack of action. 

Over the past nine months, he noted, Iran has faced two wars of aggression involving the US and "Israel", despite Washington’s role as a depository of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and "Israel’s" non-inclusion in the treaty.

Throughout both onslaughts, nuclear facilities designated for peaceful use were targeted. Yet, the United Nations Security Council, the IAEA Board of Governors, and the agency’s leadership have not issued formal condemnations or taken preventive action, Araghchi added.

“With grave disappointment, [they] have flatly failed even to condemn the illegal attacks, let alone undertake effective measures within their mandate to prevent their recurrence,” the letter stated.

Escalation risks and radioactive contamination warning

Araghchi also raised concerns over statements by US officials suggesting that nuclear facilities remain potential targets, which further escalates tensions.

“Now the US senior officials, who label international humanitarian law as ‘stupid,’ have gained the audacity to state that nuclear facilities are among their targets,” the letter noted.

The US permanent representative to the United Nations has also indicated that a strike on Bushehr is “not off the table,” reinforcing fears of continued escalation.

Such developments significantly increase the radioactive contamination risk in the region, with potential consequences extending beyond Iran’s borders.

Iran warns of consequences for global non-proliferation regime

The continued lack of response from international institutions has raised broader concerns about accountability and global nuclear governance.

Failure to address attacks on safeguarded nuclear facilities, he said, risks undermining the credibility of the United Nations, the IAEA, and the wider non-proliferation framework.

If left unchecked, such actions could erode trust among member states and weaken mechanisms designed to prevent nuclear escalation. “The consequences of such inaction would not be confined to Iran,” Araghchi's letter concluded.

A lot of the dots under the charecters got washed out, I don't know what they are for, but trying to OCR the image as-is was totally unproductive.

19. Strikingly, on 22 September 2023, Israel's Prime Minister displayed to the United Nations General Assembly a map of the "new Middle East" that showed Israel consisting not only of Israel's territorial boundaries but including all the territory constituting the State of Palestine^40^ making explicit what had long been overlooked, namely, that Israel has legislated its denial of the Palestinian people's inalienable rights, and its refusal to recognize the right of the Palestinian people to exist on their ancestral lands. 41 It was actually much more than an outrageous denial of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. It was a clear manifestation, only weeks before Israel's genocidal war, of its intent to destroy the Palestinian people, in whole or in part.^41^
