Summary
The hearing was repeatedly interrupted by protesters and came days after the Pentagon confirmed that three more US service members had died in the conflict, bringing the American death toll to 17. Hegseth says Iran war has cost $37.5 billion so far. The defence secretary was making the case for President Trump's $87.6 billion supplemental funding request, most of which is intended to replenish Pentagon resources following the US military campaign against Iran.
Furthermore, Beyond the war funding request, Hegseth also faced scrutiny over his leadership of the Pentagon. The latest attacks are part of an ongoing US campaign targeting Iranian military capabilities linked to maritime operations and regional security. Senator Patty Murray warned of "another forever war," while other lawmakers questioned why the Pentagon was seeking more funding when some previously approved military spending has yet to be used.
