A tense exchange erupted in Congress on Wednesday as US Representative Ro Khanna and other democrats pressed War Secretary Pete Hegseth over the true cost of the war with Iran, including the deadly strike on a school in Minab. During a House Armed Services Committee hearing, Khanna challenged Hegseth’s estimate that the conflict had cost around $25 billion so far. Pressed repeatedly on whether the figure accounted for full replacement costs and damage, Hegseth suggested any revisions would be handled by the 'comptroller'. The exchange escalated when Khanna raised the cost of the strike on the Minab school, which killed scores of civilians, including children.
