Hegseth Vows to Fight Impeachment Push Over Iran War, Calls It Sabotage

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has vowed to fight an impeachment push in Congress, calling it "sabotage" driven by policy disagreements rather than genuine offences. He spoke at his first Pentagon press briefing in six months on Tuesday. The resolution, filed by outgoing Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, centres on the unpopular war against Iran and also cites military actions in Yemen and Venezuela. Massie argues these actions amount to "high crimes and misdemeanors," though the Constitution leaves that definition to lawmakers. A House vote could come by midweek, pressuring Republicans who blamed midterm losses partly on the conflict's economic fallout. President Donald Trump has backed Hegseth, while Iran has continued striking US bases and disrupting shipping during the eight-month war.
