Pete Hegseth Repeatedly Interrupted by Anti-War Protesters as He Begs Congress for $95 Billion for War
- During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday, Senator Peters challenged Secretary Hegseth on the Iran war strategy, calling the conflict an "utter and complete failure" while criticizing the request for nearly $70 billion in additional funding.
- With at least 17 American soldiers killed and over 400 wounded since February, 69% of Americans now disapprove of President Donald Trump's handling of the Iran war.

- Amid reports that the Pentagon withheld injury data, Hegseth has avoided press conferences since May while facing mounting scrutiny over his record and the war's declining public support.
