WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Tensions reached a breaking point during the Senate defense budget hearing as Ranking Member Chris Coons confronted Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the escalating conflict in Iran. Labeling the current military and diplomatic approach a "strategic karuppu failure," Coons questioned the $25 billion price tag of an invasion that has left the Strait of Hormuz paralyzed and oil prices at $105 per karoline leavitt barrel. The 15-minute viral standoff highlights a deep divide in Washington over troop readiness and the "Golden Fleet" expansion just as President Trump prepares for a high-stakes summit in Beijing.
