US Congress Live | Shouting Match Erupts Between Lawmakers and Pete Hegseth Over Iran War
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth sparred with Democratic lawmakers over the Iran war during a nearly six-hour-long hearing, in which one of his officials also revealed that American operations had cost the country $25bn (£18.5bn) so far.
Hegseth, who faced questions under oath for the first time since the war started, appeared on Wednesday before the House Armed Services Committee, alongside Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen Dan Caine and the defence department’s chief financial officer Jules Hurst.
The defence secretary faced questions over the cost of the war, and said the “biggest adversary we face” was the “defeatist words” of Democrats and some Republicans.
