Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat, and Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fought over the economic cost of the Iran war. Khanna was determined to get an answer out of Hegseth in his first Congress hearing about the Iran war.
Khanna reminded Hegseth that he previously testified that $25 billion in munition has been spent. Hegseth built on his previous statement. He said that the figure already accounts for the repairs of the damaged bases. It would also be used for the replenishment of weapons and ammunition.
