Ossoff grills Hegseth on Iran war victory claims

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told the Senate Appropriations Committee Tuesday that the U.S. war with Iran has cost an estimated $37.5 billion so far, as Republicans push a $95 billion budget package to fund the military and other priorities.

The hearing was interrupted multiple times by protesters, as senators from both parties pressed Hegseth on the war's cost, strategy and timeline. The death toll for U.S. service members now stands at 17, with more than 100 injured since early July.
