Investing.com -- The U.S. is expected to significantly reduce its planned request for additional funding for the war with Iran, according to a Wednesday report by the Washington Post.

The total funding is likely to fall between $80 billion and $100 billion, citing U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter. This represents less than half of the more than $200 billion that the Pentagon had initially proposed to the White House last month.
