WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will be questioned Tuesday by House and Senate defense subcommittees as lawmakers review the Trump administration's proposed $1.5 trillion military budget for 2027 and press officials about the conduct and duration of the war with Iran. The hearings are scheduled back-to-back and are expected to cover authorization, costs, and readiness. The sessions follow maritime confrontations in which U.S. forces and Iran-linked vessels have exchanged fire, U.S. officials reported interventions to thwart attacks and disabled Tehran-linked tankers, and Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted oil flows that account for about 20% of global supply; on Tuesday members pressed for cost transparency and cited estimates of roughly $25 billion in expenditures.
