Representative Thomas Massie introduced an eight-article impeachment resolution against US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, citing the war against Iran and US operations in Yemen and Venezuela. IRNA reported the filing from New York, and Reuters' factbox said Hegseth has denied wrongdoing. Hegseth called the House impeachment process a farce, arguing that other defense secretaries had also trespassed on the War Powers Act without being impeached, according to Al-Monitor's Iran desk. Iran International reported that Hegseth said he would carry out the military operations against Iran again and that US forces remained locked and loaded. Trump has criticized Massie and pledged to stand by Hegseth.
