Hegseth demands $67 billion more for the military amid Iran strategy questions

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called for an additional $67 billion injection into the US military, describing it as a "generational investment" during a tense Senate hearing. Senators pressed him to justify soaring war costs as Americans face economic hardship at home. Hegseth also faced questions about the administration's Iran war strategy amid what critics called a "meltdown" performance.
