Protesters interrupted U.S. Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth during a hearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee on the “President’s Supplemental Funding Request of June 24, 2026” on Tuesday (July 21).
During the first minutes of Hegseth’s opening remarks, protesters accused him of “bombing our children in Iran,” adding that he had “blood on his hands.”
The U.S. and Iran have intensified attacks as an interim ceasefire agreement signed a month ago has unravelled and a struggle for control of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping channel, has deepened, raising the risk of a return to all-out hostilities.
Iran’s Health Ministry said on Saturday (July 18) that 50 people had been killed and more than 500 wounded in U.S. strikes on the country over the past three weeks alone.
Overall, thousands have been killed in the conflict, mainly in Iran and in Lebanon, where a war between Israel and Iran-allied militant group Hezbollah was reignited.
