The Pentagon has underreported the numbers of U.S. service members who have been injured in recent Iran-linked attacks in Iraq and Syria because it doesn't like the narrative that Iran is involved, Rep. Ryan Zinke said on Newsmax Tuesday.
"If you look at the joint maritime operations and Iran is involved," the Montana Republican told Newsmax's "National Report." "You look at the joint maritime operations being conducted off the coast and in the Middle East with China. Probably over 90% of Hamas is funded by Iran. Look at Hezbollah, funded by Iran."
