‘REGIME CAPABLE OF FIGHTING’: Senators Grill Pentagon Generals Over Iran War, Demand Exit Strategy
A tense Senate Armed Services Committee hearing saw lawmakers sharply question senior U.S. military commanders over the escalating Iran conflict and the growing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. Senators including Tim Kaine, Mazie Hirono, Tammy Duckworth, Elissa Slotkin, Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Ashley Moody, and Richard Blumenthal pressed Admiral Brad Cooper and General Dagvin Anderson on civilian casualties, missile threats, naval operations, and the long-term risks of a broader Middle East war. The hearing focused heavily on the Trump administration’s military strategy, legal authority for operations against Iran, and the economic fallout from disruptions to global shipping and oil markets. Senators also raised concerns about China’s regional role, blockade operations around Hormuz, and fears that the conflict could become a prolonged and costly military engagement. The exchanges highlighted deep divisions in Washington over the scope, objectives, and consequences of the ongoing war effort.
