Massie moves to impeach Hegseth over Iran war

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., on Sept. 15, 2026, read articles to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the House floor over Iran. The articles say Hegseth committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" by waging war illegally and defying Congress's withdrawal order. The Pentagon defended Hegseth. The administration said the war was needed to stop Iran getting a nuclear weapon.
