A tense exchange unfolded on Capitol Hill as Joe Courtney pressed Pete Hegseth and Dan Caine over U.S. military positioning and global threat priorities. Citing the latest National Defense Strategy, Courtney highlighted that China remains the top U.S. concern, followed by Russia and North Korea, while describing Iran as significantly weakened. He questioned whether the current heavy deployment of U.S. forces to the Middle East reflects a strategic imbalance, especially amid escalating tensions with Iran. The hearing underscored growing debate in Washington over resource allocation, military readiness, and the broader direction of U.S. defense policy.
