Ossoff: "On day 14 of this conflict, nearly 5 months ago, you stated that Iran's military had been 'destroyed' and made 'combat ineffective.' Was that an accurate statement?" Hegseth: "As far as a military assessment of Iran's capabilities, it didn't mean by any stretch of the imagination absolute zero, but their capabilities are at the lowest level they've been in a very long time." Ossoff: "On day 14 of this conflict, in the second week of the conflict, you stated that Iran's military had been 'destroyed' and made 'combat ineffective.' Was that an accurate statement?" Hegseth: "Iran's ability to challenge the U.S. at the level we're capable of-" Ossoff: "That's not what I asked."

Ossoff demolishes Hegseth -- then Hegseth has an epic crashout Sen. Jon Ossoff used Hegseth's premature declarations of victory against him during his Senate testimony, repeatedly reading back statements Hegseth made in March and April about Iran's military being "destroyed" and "obliterated" and asking him if he stands by them. After Hegseth spent five minutes dodging, Ossoff concluded by noting that "you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran's military was 'destroyed and made combat ineffective' was a truthful statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more." A reeling Hegseth then crashed out in response to a similar line of questioning from Sen. Gary Peters, snapping at him that "you have Trump derangement syndrome!" Peters replied to Hegseth that "you, sir, are the failure," as Susan Collins brought the hearing to an abrupt close. Here's all of Ossoff's questioning followed by Hegseth's tantrum:
