Pete Hegseth decries impeachment push, defends Iran war handling
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushed back against an impeachment effort led by a Republican congressman, defending his handling of the Iran war as the articles were introduced. The move marks a rare intraparty challenge to a sitting cabinet secretary, underscoring growing unease over the administration's military decision-making. Hegseth's response signals the Pentagon chief intends to fight rather than quietly absorb the criticism. What to watch next is whether GOP leaders rally behind Hegseth or allow the articles to advance, and whether the dispute complicates war funding and oversight debates on Capitol Hill.
