‘YOU, SIR, ARE THE FAILURE!’: Hegseth Cornered & Asked To Resign As Iran Impeachment Row Erupts

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing renewed pressure over the Iran war as a blistering confrontation from a July Senate hearing resurfaces amid a fresh impeachment push and calls for him to step down. During the July 21 hearing, Hegseth was challenged over the lack of a clear path to end the conflict. After Hegseth objected to lawmakers describing the war as a failure, one senator fired back directly: “You, sir, are the failure. Not the men and women who are on that front line.” He then accused Pentagon leadership of lacking both a strategy and a long-term plan to win the war.
