CENTCOM Chief Rebukes Dem Over Iran War Casualties Inquiry During Heated Hearing
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Gallagher says an Iranian drone attack on a US military base in Iraq killed 25 US troops, amid growing tensions between the two nations.
US Central Command Chief Adm. Brad Cooper sharply rebuked Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton during a tense House Armed Services Committee hearing, responding to the Massachusetts Democrat's question on 'how many more Americans' must die in an Iran war by saying he would rather not discuss it, according to a video recording of the exchange. Moulton had pressed for answers on the risks and costs of military action against Iran. Cooper told Moulton that discussing the number of potential casualties was 'not something we discuss'. The exchange has raised questions about how Democrats are handling national security issues.
