Hegseth says Iran is weakened, but won’t give timeline for war’s end
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated Iran is at its weakest militarily after U.S. airstrikes but avoided specifying when the war might end. The administration requested $67 billion in supplemental funds for ongoing operations, facing opposition from Senate Democrats who cited unused funds from a prior bill and questioned the war's success.
