US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth testified before Congress on the Pentagon’s budget for the war on Iran, reports Todayinfo.
According to official data, the US has spent $25 billion on the war with Iran so far. This amount has sparked criticism from lawmakers, who questioned the efficiency and purpose of the spending.
Hegseth justified the military operations, emphasizing the need to counter Iran's nuclear weapons. However, many legislators expressed concern over the war's duration and cost.
“We don't see an end to this war, and the budget keeps growing. Where is the American taxpayers' money going?” one congressman asked.
Pentagon officials promised to provide a detailed account of war expenses, but this issue may spark further debate.
