Democrats Push for Iran War Hearings

0:00This is your global news update for March 10th. Six Senate Democrats are wrapping up pressure for public hearings on the ongoing Iran war. They're demanding top Trump administration officials testify under oath, and they've warned they'll disrupt Senate business if Republicans block it. The push comes from senior members on the foreign relations and armed services committees. Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey and Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut led the effort. They asked Republican Chairman James Rish and Roger Wicker to schedule hearings next week. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio topped the witness list. Public reaction shows growing unease. A recent writer's ifso's poll found 60 percent of Americans expect the conflict to drag on, driving up gasoline prices. Only 29 percent approve of the attacks, highlighting deep discontent. Democrats hold a SLAM 53 to 47 percent of majority, giving them control over the floor. Both chambers have already rejected Democrats' calls for war-powers debates and votes to

Joining them are Senators Tammy Duckworth, Adam Schiff, Tammy Baldwin and Tim Cain as Democrats aim to protect troops and push for a quick end. CNN is brought to you by our sponsor.
