"I don't know if you fully appreciate how much the American people do not support this war. When I talk to them all across my state, they are furious."
"Senator, when I talk to Americans, and especially when I talked to the troops, they are grateful for a president who has the courage to take on this threat after 47 years of what Iran has done."
"The truth is they don't want war coming to this shore, and when you do a decapitation operation, the likelihood is going to be exchanged in the United States."
"We did not have any evidence that Iran intended to imminently attack this country in any way, shape, or form."
During a Senate hearing, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand clashed over public sentiment regarding the Iran conflict. Gillibrand expressed that the American people largely oppose the war, while Hegseth claimed to receive support from both Americans and troops. The exchange intensified as Hegseth referenced a previous closed-door discussion that differed from the public dialogue. Gillibrand voiced concerns about the war's potential impact on U.S. soil, arguing there is no evidence of an imminent threat from Iran.
