A heated exchange unfolded on Capitol Hill as Sen. Jon Ossoff sharply questioned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his past statements on Iran's military capabilities during a Senate hearing. Ossoff pointed to Hegseth's earlier claim that Iran's military had been "destroyed" and "made combat ineffective," before noting that U.S. forces had carried out fresh strikes on Iran.
The tense hearing focused on U.S. defense spending, the Pentagon's Iran strategy, and whether earlier assessments of Iran's military matched the current battlefield situation. Hegseth defended the administration's position as senators pressed him on the latest developments in the Middle East.
Watch the full exchange and the latest updates on the U.S.-Iran conflict, Senate hearing, Pentagon policy, and Middle East tensions.
