Tempers explode on Capitol Hill as Congressman John Larson goes on the offensive, grilling Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent over the real-world impact of the Iran war on everyday prices. As Americans feel the squeeze at the pump, Larson demands straight answers on soaring gas costs, pressing the question: “Are we at war or not?” But Bessent stays tight-lipped, refusing to directly address the fallout. The tense exchange erupts into a heated political showdown over inflation, accountability, and the true cost of conflict.
