A tense moment unfolded during a Senate hearing as Sen. Patty Murray pressed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over previous U.S. statements regarding the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's ability to disrupt commercial shipping.
Murray questioned how Iran was reportedly able to significantly reduce ship traffic through the strategic waterway after earlier administration statements suggested the U.S. had strong control over security in the region. Hegseth responded by defending U.S. operations while arguing that Iran continues to pose risks to commercial vessels through hostile actions.
Watch the full exchange as lawmakers debate U.S. military strategy, the Iran conflict, maritime security, and the Pentagon's assessment of the Strait of Hormuz.
