US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth faced a furious confrontation at a military conference in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, 14 October, as six anti-war protesters interrupted his remarks, branding him a 'war criminal,' 'Nazi' and 'coward' over civilian deaths in Iran and Gaza.
The demonstrators repeatedly disrupted Hegseth's appearance at the Association of the United States Army's annual conference, where senior military officials were discussing autonomous weapons and drone warfare. Security personnel removed the protesters individually as their accusations echoed through the packed venue.
