华盛顿4月29日电（路透社）——美国国防部长皮特·赫格斯周三在国会发表激烈讲话，为对伊战争辩护，称其并非泥潭，并抨击民主党议员批评这场不受欢迎的冲突是“软弱无能”。
这是美国和以色列于2月28日发动对伊战争以来，赫格斯首次前往国会作证，此次战争已导致汽油价格大幅上涨。

民主党议员就这场无明确期限的冲突向赫格斯连发多个问题，来自加利福尼亚州的众议员约翰·加拉门迪称这场战争是“泥潭”，且“在各个层面都是政治和经济灾难”。
赫格斯愤怒回应。
“你称其为泥潭，这是在向我们的敌人输送宣传材料？你发表这番言论真是可耻，”赫格斯在回应加拉门迪时说道，并抨击国会民主党议员“鲁莽、软弱且失败主义”。
“不要说：‘一方面我支持军队，另一方面却称一场为期两个月的任务是泥潭。’……你在这里为谁喝彩？你支持谁？”

WASHINGTON, April 29 (Reuters) – U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sought to defend the Iran war in fiery remarks to Congress on Wednesday, saying it was not a quagmire and attacking Democratic lawmakers as “feckless” for criticizing the unpopular conflict.
Hegseth was testifying before Congress for the first time since the U.S. and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28 that has led to a surge in gasoline prices.

Trump’s popularity has taken a pounding since the conflict began and just 34% of Americans approve of the U.S. conflict with Iran, down from 36% in mid-April and 38% in mid-March, the Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

Democrats peppered Hegseth with questions about the open-ended conflict, with Rep. John Garamendi of California calling it a “quagmire” and “political and economic disaster at every level.”
Hegseth responded angrily.
“You call it a quagmire, handing propaganda to our enemies? Shame on you for that statement,” Hegseth said in response to Garamendi, and slammed “reckless, feckless, and defeatist” Congressional Democrats.
“Don’t say: ‘I support the troops on one hand, and then a two-month mission is a quagmire.’ … Who are you cheering for here? Who you pulling for?”
