Facing impeachment, Hegseth defends Iran war: ‘I would do it again tomorrow’
According to Ynet, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at impeachment efforts led by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, labeling the move a 'farce' and 'sabotage.' The impeachment articles cite military actions including the war against Iran, strikes against Houthis in Yemen, and the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Hegseth defended his record, stating, 'I stand beside every one of these operations… and I would do it again tomorrow.' President Donald Trump publicly backed Hegseth, calling him a successful official and dismissing Massie's efforts. Meanwhile, a Reuters/Ipsos poll indicates that 71% of Americans support congressional action to end the conflict with Iran.
