Representative Yasamin Ansari urged Congress to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, blaming him and President Trump for a six-month military campaign against Iran she described as illegal. Ansari said a US airstrike hit a school, killing 120 children, and 18 US service members have died; she also cited record-high oil prices. She alleged Trump and his sons have profited through defense-technology firms that secured government contracts. Ansari said the campaign has failed to achieve its objectives, called for the war to end and for Hegseth to be impeached.
