Pete Hegseth faces impeachment push at Pentagon over Iran war

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is fighting to keep his job, holding a press conference Tuesday at the Pentagon to address an impeachment effort initiated by fellow Republican Thomas Massie. Massie accuses Hegseth of advancing war against Iran without congressional approval and exceeding his authority as defense secretary. Three of the eight impeachment articles relate to the Iran war. Hegseth says he is not worried about the charges. The impeachment push follows Republicans' poor midterm election results, which many party members blame on the Iran war conducted under Hegseth's strategy. Several Republicans are reportedly considering voting against him, with Representative James Comer noting GOP voters are more concerned about Iran than Democrats.
