Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared at a Senate hearing amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran in the Middle East. President Donald Trump is considering options for addressing the Israel-Iran conflict, including military strikes against Iran.
Hegseth said the Pentagon provides military options to Trump, including whether to use a 30,000-pound bunker buster bomb carried by a B-2 stealth bomber.
The hearing included debates on congressional war powers, evacuation plans for Americans in Israel and concerns about regional stability and U.S. troop protection.
