“Incompetence at Every Level”: US Senator Rips Into Hegseth on Iran War After Mounting U.S Losses

Tensions erupted in Washington as John Garamendi sharply criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the ongoing Iran war. In a heated exchange, Garamendi accused officials of misleading the public from the very beginning, calling the conflict a “war of choice” marked by deep strategic failures. He described the situation as “incompetence at every level,” pointing to mounting U.S. losses and growing economic strain. The confrontation reflects widening political divisions, as scrutiny intensifies over the war’s direction, transparency, and long-term consequences for U.S. stability and global standing.
