Republican Rep. Thomas Massie introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth today, accusing him of carrying out unlawful military orders in Iran, Yemen and Venezuela. This is not his first attempt: in September, Massie already accused Hegseth of violating the War Powers Resolution by continuing military operations in Iran without congressional authorization. The conflict began with US and Israeli strikes in February, followed by Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a US blockade of Iranian ports. A June agreement intended to open a 60-day negotiating window failed to produce a lasting settlement. Now, with shipping attacks increasing and energy supplies disrupted, Trump is meeting Qatar’s prime minister to discuss a new proposal. Washington has rejected Tehran’s latest offer, and officials see little chance of an immediate deal.
