Calls mount to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

An online petition is demanding the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging he treated the Iran conflict like a personal payday. Critics point to his public claims that Iran’s air force was “wiped out” and its navy “at the bottom of the sea”, statements reportedly at odds with U.S. intelligence, and accuse him of mismanaging missiles and leaving U.S. forces inadequately defended.
