LIVE: Pete Hegseth Grilled In Congress Over Iran War Strategy, Costs & Accountability Questioned

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced intense questioning from lawmakers during a high-stakes hearing on the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, with sharp exchanges over military strategy, rising costs, and accountability. Lawmakers from both parties pressed him on the war’s estimated $25 billion price tag, lack of clear objectives, and whether the campaign has been overstated as a success.
The hearing turned combative as critics challenged the administration’s legal authority under the War Powers Act and accused Hegseth of exaggerating progress, while he defended the operation as necessary for national security.
