Members of Congress from both parties questioned Biden administration officials about U.S. involvement in military actions against Iran and related security concerns during recent hearings.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, raised concerns about funding lapses at the Department of Homeland Security while questioning DHS Secretary Kristi Noem about potential threats within the United States as conflict involving Iran continues to develop.

Separately, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat, pressed Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby about U.S. decisions to participate in strikes against Iran alongside Israel. Shaheen also inquired about the possibility of deploying U.S. troops to Iran.

During the same questioning session, Shaheen asked Colby about ongoing U.S. involvement in Ukraine's war with Russia, indicating lawmakers are seeking clarity on multiple foreign policy fronts.

The hearings reflect congressional oversight of military and security policies as tensions in the Middle East continue to evolve and lawmakers seek information about the administration's strategic decisions in the region.
