According to Alhurra, the US House of Representatives voted 211 to 204 to refer the impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee. The motion, introduced by Republican Representative Thomas Massie, includes eight charges, including conducting unauthorized military operations against Iran and violating the War Powers Act. During a press conference at the Pentagon, Hegseth dismissed the efforts as a "political show," asserting that all operations were legal and authorized by the President. He further warned that the US remains prepared to launch new strikes against Iran if malicious activity is detected. President Donald Trump praised the vote outcome, labeling it a failure for the Democrats.
