Ossoff grills Hegseth on Iran victory claims in Senate funding hearing
The broadcast covers a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on a supplemental funding request for the ongoing US-Iran conflict. Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) questions Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about statements made early in the war, including assessments that Iran's military was destroyed and combat ineffective by day 14, followed by a declaration of victory via Operation Epic Fury weeks later. Hegseth defends the assessments as contextual military judgments while acknowledging residual capabilities. Ossoff highlights ongoing missile threats, the closed Strait of Hormuz, and casualties. Hegseth accuses Democrats of failing to fund troops. The segment includes multiple rounds of the same exchange.
