Sen. Tammy Baldwin sharply questioned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during a tense congressional hearing, arguing that U.S. forces lacked adequate air defenses as tensions with Iran escalated. Baldwin pressed Pentagon leadership over troop protection, military preparedness, and strategic planning, raising concerns about whether American personnel were sufficiently equipped amid the growing Middle East conflict. The exchange fueled renewed debate over U.S. defense policy, readiness, and the administration's handling of the Iran crisis. #tammybaldwin #petehegseth #iran #pentagon #usmilitary #hearing #congress #senate #breakingnews Subscribe to The Financial Express: https://bit.ly/2TN006o Welcome to The Financial Express, your trusted source for world affairs, geopolitics, business news, global economy updates, and market insights.
