'You Have Trump Derangement Syndrome!': Hegseth, Peters Spar over Iran War at Fiery Senate Hearing.
Peters said Hegseth lacks a winning plan as the administration seeks nearly $70 billion more for the Iran war.
- On Tuesday, Democratic Sen Gary Peters told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that he has failed American troops, calling the war strategy a "failure" during a Senate appropriations hearing where Hegseth requested nearly $70 billion in additional funding.
- The Trump administration's conflict with Iran has intensified, causing oil and gas Prices to fluctuate as Iran effectively closed The Strait near Hormuz. Hegseth defended the mission, arguing troops fight to ensure "Iran never gets a nuclear weapon."
- Challenging administration claims, Gillibrand noted that missiles continue to kill American service members despite assertions Iran's production capacity was destroyed. Peters cited the loss of 17 troops, including two recently killed in Jordan, as evidence of a losing strategy.
- Accusing Democrats of playing partisan politics, Hegseth demanded "political courage" from lawmakers and argued that characterizing the war "as a failure is reckless" and "smears the sacrifice" of troops fighting for the Department of Defense.
- The hearing followed the American military's 10th consecutive night of strikes against Iran, even as Donald Trump claimed on Tuesday that Iran "desperately" wants a ceasefire. Previous peace agreements negotiated by Pakistan have crumbled due to alleged violations.
