Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended his handling of the Iran war at a Pentagon press conference, his first in six months, and dismissed a impeachment push against him as a political stunt. Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky filed a House resolution the prior day listing eight grounds for impeachment. Hegseth characterized the effort as the work of a single disgruntled, election-losing lawmaker driven by pride and grievance rather than oversight or accountability, calling it passive, theatrical and a personal statement. The clash matters because it tests whether a single House Republican can force a referendum on the Pentagon chief's conduct of the Iran campaign. Watch next for whether the resolution gains co-sponsors or momentum in the House.
