House Republicans have pushed back a scheduled hearing with the top military commander overseeing Middle East operations, moving the testimony from next week to late May.
The postponement affects the head of military operations in the region, who had been set to appear before lawmakers in the coming days. The delay was initiated by the Republican majority controlling the chamber.
The timing of the deferral coincides with ongoing military activity in the region, though no formal explanation was provided for the decision to reschedule the hearing to a later date in the spring.
