“Pete Hegseth was challenged over seemingly contradictory claims about Iran’s nuclear capabilities while testifying in front of a House committee on the Trump administration’s military budget. Democrat Congressman Adam Smith questioned why the President and the Defense Secretary had justified the 2026 attack on Iran as due to an “imminent threat” of Iranian nuclear weapons when they had often trumpeted 2025’s Operation Midnight Hammer strikes as having already “obliterated” the Middle East nation’s nuke program.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim details a specific exchange during a House committee hearing involving contradictory claims about 2026 and 2025 operations. While the web search results confirm that Pete Hegseth was challenged over contradictory claims regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities, the specific details cited in the claim (e.g., the exact juxtaposition of 'imminent threat' for 2026 vs. 'obliterated' for Operation Midnight Hammer in 2025) are not fully corroborated by multiple independent sources. The evidence suggests the general topic of contradiction was raised, but the precise details are limited to the provided web search results.
