In his first hearing since the U.S. entered war with Iran on February 28, Hegseth defended Pentagon actions amid a proposed $1.5 trillion budget and a conflict that has cost $25 billion and 15 American lives so far. Democrats like Rep. Pat Ryan highlighted the lack of drone defenses at Kuwait's Port of Shuaiba, where troops had warned of risks but received no added protection, while Rep. Adam Smith questioned shifting justifications tied to Iran's nuclear sites. Hegseth pushed back on claims of negligence, touted a blockade of Iranian ports, and called for unity as protests raged outside and a Senate hearing looms.

Senator, are you suggesting that some nice tweets would get a terrorist state to give up their nuclear ambitions? :ermm:
