The political fallout from the ongoing conflict in Iran has finally reached the Pentagon's top office. Representative Yassamin Ansari formally introduced articles of impeachment against Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth today, accusing him of constitutional violations and enabling unlawful military actions.
