Senator Compares Putin To Qasem Soleimani
Senator Tom Tillis described the current global alliance landscape as a revived axis of evil. The comments were made during a six-hour congressional hearing regarding the current conflict with Iran. The hearing included testimony from the Pentagon chief before the House Armed Services Committee. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker stated that Iran has a history of practicing violence and seeking nuclear blackmail. The remarks highlight a partisan divide in the Senate regarding the administration's response to Iran. The warning was issued during a Senate Armed Services Committee session focused on the Department of Defense budget. Wicker noted that the administration's approach is being scrutinized amidst Republican support and Democratic criticism. The remarks occurred during a session addressing the proposed $5 trillion defense budget.
