- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the Trump administration's military strikes against Iran during a tense Senate hearing, where lawmakers questioned both the effectiveness of the operation and its estimated $37.5 billion cost.
The hearing examined whether the strikes successfully set back Iran's nuclear program, the potential long-term financial impact on taxpayers, and broader concerns about U.S. military strategy in the Middle East. Senators also pressed Pentagon officials about the possibility of escalating conflict, threats to global energy supplies, and the risk of higher gasoline prices if Iran were to disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Watch this report for the key moments from the hearing, the questions lawmakers raised, and the Pentagon's response.
