The US Pentagon has spent $29 billion on military operations related to Iran so far, according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who faced intense questioning from lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Congress expressed concern over diminishing weapons stockpiles and demanded clarity on the administration's endgame strategy. Both Democratic and Republican representatives challenged Hegseth on the war's costs and sustainability.
The congressional pressure reflects growing debate within the US government over the financial and military viability of extended Middle Eastern military operations.
