House Dem Revives Hegseth Impeachment After Iran School Massacre
Following reports that top US military commanders bypassed warnings about unreliable targeting intelligence before authorizing a bombing that killed over 150 people, mostly children, Representative Yassamin Ansari has renewed her call for the impeachment of Pentagon Secretary Pete Hegseth. Ansari cited the catastrophic decision, which resulted in the deaths of children during what she described as an “illegal, pointless war,” as justification for her impeachment articles. These articles allege that Hegseth authorized military force inconsistent with the law of armed conflict and demonstrated willful disregard for the Constitution. Previously, Hegseth dismantled civilian harm mitigation programs, significantly cutting staff and removing civilian harm specialists from strike teams, actions now seen as contributing to such tragic outcomes.
