US EditionHouse Democrat Says She’ll Move to Impeach Hegseth over Iran War
Ansari says Hegseth breached constitutional limits and endangered U.S. troops as Democrats intensify criticism of the administration’s war powers.
- On Monday, Rep. Yassamin Ansari announced plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war in Iran, accusing him of breaching constitutional war powers.
- The conflict began five weeks ago following coordinated U.S. and Israel bombing strikes that killed several top Iranian military and political leaders, triggering at least 13 U.S. service member deaths.
- President Donald Trump issued a Tuesday night deadline demanding Iran open the Strait of Hormuz and agree to a peace deal, threatening large-scale strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure if rejected.
- Ansari also called for the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, stating, "I've called for the 25th Amendment and am introducing Articles of Impeachment against Hegseth," citing concerns about rhetoric.
- Although the impeachment effort faces long odds with Republicans controlling both chambers of Congress, the move reflects mounting Democratic opposition to the administration's handling of the war.
