Democratic Representative Yassamin Ansari has filed articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, citing his role in the US war in Iran. The six articles accuse Hegseth of unauthorized war, abuse of power, and violating the law of armed conflict. A dozen Democrats cosponsor the measure, which is unlikely to pass the Republican-led House and Senate. The US and Iran have been at war for over six weeks, resulting in over 3,500 deaths, including 1,665 civilians. Ansari points to a deadly strike on a girls' school in Minab, Iran, as an example of the war's human cost. The US Defense Department is investigating the incident, which was initially blamed on Iran but may have been caused by the US military.
