Trump Defends Pete Hegseth Amid Impeachment Calls Over Iran War Role
US President Donald Trump defended Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth against impeachment calls led by House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Republican Representative Thomas Massie. Trump credited Hegseth with playing a key role in US military actions against Iran, including dismantling Iran's nuclear infrastructure and protecting Israel and the Middle East. Jeffries accused Hegseth of abusing power, undermining national security, and engineering a costly war in Iran, which Democrats plan to address if they gain control of Congress. Hegseth dismissed the impeachment effort as politically motivated.
