'You're asking $200 billion more': Gillibrand GRILLS Hegseth over Iran war at fiery Senate hearing

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth why the U.S. continues to attack Iran when most Americans don’t support the war. “There's no evidence that we are safer because of this war. We did not have any evidence that Iran intended to imminently attack this country in any way, shape or form,” Gillibrand told Hegseth, who appeared with Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff before the Senate Armed Services Committee Thursday. Hegseth responded that he believes they do have American support, and added that the U.S. is only two months into a war in Iran. “Iraq took how many years? Afghanistan took how many years? And they were nebulous missions that people went along with,” Hegseth said. “This is different. This is a defined mission set that we have had great success in pursuing against a determined enemy who seeks nuclear weapons, and I'm proud of the opportunity to remind the American people because they believe in it as well.”
