8:58Now PlayingUS News: Democratic Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) sharply criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the Iran war during a tense Senate hearing with U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Coons questioned the growing cost of the conflict, demanded clarity on America’s long-term strategy, and warned that the U.S. was becoming increasingly isolated from allies.
During the hearing, Coons said, “I do not understand the strategy,” while pressing officials over the war’s impact on U.S. security, rising fuel prices, and America’s military priorities. He also argued the administration appeared “more passionate about fighting culture wars than winning the real war that we’re in,” and warned that modern warfare requires “smaller, lighter, faster” capabilities instead of a “golden fleet.”
