WASHINGTON, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will testify before the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday, answering lawmakers' questions about the Trump administration's Feb. 28 launch of the war against Iran and the proposed 2027 defense budget that would raise spending to a historic $1.5 trillion. Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. Dan Caine are expected to request more drones, missile defenses and warships. Democrats this week plan to focus on the conflict's fiscal and humanitarian consequences, including reported munitions depletion, a school bombing that killed children, and instances where Iranian drones penetrated U.S. defenses and killed or injured American troops; the committee will review budget justifications and press for greater oversight in coming hearings.
