Mr. Hegseth, you're requesting roughly $68 billion for the department through the supplemental, correct?

67, yes.

You said on day 14 Iran's military had been, quote, destroyed and, quote, made combat ineffective.

Yes or no, was that an accurate statement?

What the American military has done to the Iranian military is a historic military defeat and they're ineffective in that context.

I think your characterization of this incredible effort as a failure is reckless. voice-verified

And I think it's irresponsible. voice-verified

And I think it smears the sacrifice of the troops that are out there making on behalf of the American people to ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. voice-verified

Shame on you and others who call this a quagmire and a failure. voice-verified

And then you want to turn around and say you support the warfighter. voice-verified

I heard failure. voice-verified

I heard exactly what you said. voice-verified

Well, Senator, you're talking about political trade-offs, and our job is to deliver for the United States military and the President of the United States. voice-verified

And we look at the cost of a nuclear Iran, and we want to prevent that for future generations. voice-verified

And that requires funding and supplementals and this budget and next-generation capabilities, and that's why we're here today to request some of that to ensure we can ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. voice-verified

And I would like to respond to the fertilizer and the gas. voice-verified

The nuclear sites under Midnight Hammer were obliterated, but Iranians foolishly continued to attempt to pursue nuclear capabilities, which is why we destroyed their defense industrial base and so many of the other capabilities to ensure they can't get to a nuclear weapon. voice-verified

See, we're staying laser-focused on the objective, and you're trying to make campaign commercials. voice-verified

As we stated from the beginning, the Iranian defense industrial base is effectively gone. voice-verified
