Meanwhile, several hundred days into Trump's Iran war, Republicans have yet to hold a single standalone public hearing. 

This despite mounting questions about U.S. casualties, depleted weapons stocks and the war’s rapidly growing price tag.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates the conflict has already cost the Defense Department about $38 billion, with another $2 billion to $3 billion expected for each additional month of fighting.

The lack of dedicated hearings stands in contrast to the congressional scrutiny of the Benghazi attack, which killed four Americans and became a major focus of Republican criticism of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Republicans ultimately created a House Select Committee on Benghazi, which conducted years of investigations and hearings, with Clinton herself testifying before the panel in 2015.
