Rogers Slams Pentagon for Lack of Iran War Details

0:00It's March 26. From your city to your ears, this is Birmingham News. Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. U.S. Representative Mike Rogers from Alabama is calling out the Pentagon for not providing enough details on the ongoing conflict with Iran. As Chair of the House Armed Services Committee, he says Congress needs clearer answers about troop movements and operations that started several weeks ago. The U.S. launched combat missions against Iran recently, with thousands of American troops now deployed to the region. While some expect a quick resolution, others predict the fight could drag on for months. Rogers, known for his strong stance on defense issues, urged officials during a briefing to make any troop shifts careful and planned. Both House and Senate Armed Services Committee's got a classified update on the situation this week. He's made it clear that without better information, there could be serious fallout for the Pentagon. Meanwhile, they're asking for around $200 billion to cover war costs.
