Rep. Garamendi DESTROYS Hegseth’s Iran War Story — Exposes 13 Dead, 40% Gas Spike!

Rep. John Garamendi confronts Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over the Iran war in a tense House hearing, accusing the administration of misleading the public "from day one." Watch the full exchange unfold, including Hegseth's sharp response over a single word.

In a heated confrontation that is sparking political debate, Garamendi lays out his case in his own words: 13 Americans killed in action, rising gas prices, concerns about the Strait of Hormuz and global oil supply, depleted munitions, and what he calls shifting reasons for the war. These are the congressman's claims, presented here as stated in the hearing.

The moment escalates when a member asks that the Secretary be allowed to respond. The chairman adds time to Garamendi's turn, and Hegseth's answer comes later, during a question from Rep. Rob Wittman. Hegseth defends the mission, rejects the word "quagmire," points to battlefield success, and asks the congressman, "Who are you cheering for here?"

Two men agree the troops have performed and the war is about two months old. They disagree on what to call it, and on whether the questions were answered. Watch the hearing in order, then decide for yourself.
