According to CoinMeta, and as reported by Axios, senior officials from the U.S. Pentagon have been pitching the “Reconciliation 4.0” plan to Senate Republicans in closed-door meetings, emphasizing the need for a significant increase in military funding. The government’s rationale is not only to replenish the weapons stockpiles depleted due to conflicts with Iran and Ukraine but also to invest in artificial intelligence. Defense Secretary Hegseth and several deputy secretaries provided detailed closed-door briefings to Republican members of key Senate committees on Tuesday morning. During these briefings, officials conducted a global threat analysis and were candid about the U.S. military’s ammunition stockpiles regarding the Iran conflict, providing the level of detail that the committees have been seeking. Another source familiar with the matter stated that Democrats were excluded from recent briefings related to Iran.
