Pete Hegseth on Impeachment Attempt: ‘It’s a Farce, a Gift to Iran’
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has characterized efforts to remove him from office as a 'farce' and a 'gift to Iran.' According to Channel 14 Israel, Hegseth, while emphasizing his absolute loyalty to President Donald Trump, compared the move to previous impeachment attempts against the President. He stated, 'This tells our enemies, including Iran, that the United States will punish its warriors and civilian leadership for successfully executing lawful military operations.' Hegseth, who identified Congressman Thomas Massie as the driving force behind the push, asserted that he would accept any consequences for standing by Trump. Defending the administration's aggressive military posture against Iranian targets, he added that 'the crazy Islamists in Tehran will never have a nuclear weapon.'
