Hegseth defends Iran war, assails critics as calls mount for his removal
Washington Post reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended the unresolved, eight-month Iran war in a video days after Republicans lost Congress over it, assailing critics including Rep. Thomas Massie, whose impeachment effort looms in the House. President Trump said he intends to keep Hegseth, who also faces $1.5 trillion budget pushback and planned Democratic investigations.
