'Operation Ordered By...': Pete Hegseth Shifts Blame On Trump Over Iran War As Impeachment Looms

Pete Hegseth is facing mounting pressure as Republican Thomas Massie pushes an impeachment effort over the Trump administration's military operations. During a fiery Pentagon briefing, Hegseth defended the Iran war and other military actions, insisting they were lawful operations ordered by the commander-in-chief and carried out by American forces. His remarks put Donald Trump in the spotlight, as Hegseth argued the military was following the chain of command. Reporters also pressed him on Iran's military rebuilding, the GOP's midterm defeat, JD Vance's criticism of the war, and whether Democrats could put him on trial if they take control of Congress.
