Outlets across the spectrum report on the House's refusal to curb executive war powers, with many like Politico and The American Conservative highlighting Secretary Hegseth’s "locked and loaded" warning to Iran. While center-leaning sources like AP News focus on the strategic expansion of naval blockades, left-leaning Crooked Media pairs the military escalation with personal scrutiny of Hegseth’s conduct at the Pentagon.
