"American families are bearing the cost of a war they wanted nothing to do with and have gained nothing from and yet, Secretary Hegseth, you declared victory a month ago."
"The problem with your statements, Mr Secretary, is they are dangerously exaggerated."
"Reed immediately went on the offensive, accusing Trump of going to war without a coherent strategy while declining to make a case to the American people or consult Congress."
Jack Reed criticized Pete Hegseth for providing an inaccurate portrayal of the war on Iran, claiming it misrepresents the situation and misleads the public. Reed emphasized that American families are suffering from increased fuel prices due to a war they oppose. The congressional hearing revealed tensions over the Pentagon's military budget and the ongoing conflict, which has reached a stalemate. Reed accused Hegseth of failing to advise Trump properly and pursuing a personal agenda, while service members face real dangers in battle.
