Senator Murphy Grills Hegseth on Iran War: History Is Not On Your Side

Published | Video Starts at 04:12

General Kaine, let me finally ask you a question about what seems to be a difference of opinion between the intelligence services that you rely on and the public statements of the President of the United States with respect to our war objectives. The Secretary and others in the President's cabinet have said very clearly that our war objective is to destroy Iran's missile and drone program. The President said just a week ago that Iran maybe had 18 to 19% of their missile capacity left. (04:12–04:23)
