The US Secretary of Defense defended the continuation of the war with Iran in Congress and targeted Democratic critics
Pete Hagseth, the US Secretary of Defense, defended the war with Iran during a session of the House Armed Services Committee, stating that this conflict has not become a quagmire
He harshly criticized Democratic lawmakers who have criticized this war, saying such remarks, according to him, benefit America’s enemies
In this session, Hagseth emphasized that describing the war as a quagmire is incorrect and accused the critics of irresponsibility
At the same time, the Democrats’ effort in the Senate to limit Donald Trump’s authority to use military force against Iran was rejected in a vote
This proposal, aimed at requiring the government to obtain Congress’s approval to continue the conflicts, failed to secure a majority vote
Nevertheless, the Democrats have announced that they will continue to pursue this issue in Congress
