The Pentagon has disputed claims that recent casualties in the Iran conflict have been underreported.The officials are expected to address questions about the conflict&#8217;s progress and recent U.S. military deaths resulting from weekend strikes in the Middle East. The article also highlights recent developments, including the naming of a North Carolina sergeant as the third U.S.soldier killed during Iran-related strikes and the postponement of a dignified transfer of U.S. troops wounded or killed in Iran. Additionally, readers are directed to related stories about live coverage of the hearings and recent military incidents involving Iran.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">War Secretary <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pete-hegseth\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1991\">Pete Hegseth<\/a>; Gen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/dan-caine\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"11774\">Dan Caine<\/a>, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and Agriculture Secretary <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/brooke-rollins\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"11792\">Brooke Rollins<\/a> will testify before the Senate appropriations committee on Tuesday at 2:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/4655382\/pentagon-disputes-characterization-downplayed-casualties-iran-war\/\">PENTAGON DISPUTES CHARACTERIZATION IT DOWNPLAYED RECENT CASUALTIES IN IRAN WAR<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/4657144\/watch-live-hegseth-caine-rollins-testify-senate-appropriations-committee\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>WATCH LIVE: Hegseth, Caine, and Rollins testify before Senate appropriations committee<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/4656743\/north-carolina-sergeant-killed-iran-weekend-strikes\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Pentagon names North Carolina sergeant as third soldier killed in Iran\u2019s weekend strikes<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/4656421\/dignified-transfer-us-troops-iran-postponed\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Dignified transfer of US troops killed in Iran war postponed, Leavitt says<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three Trump administration officials will each field questions on President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> June supplemental funding request for $87.6 billion.
