The US House, which Republicans control until January, has voted 211 to 204 to send a resolution to impeach US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to committee, effectively sending the process into a procedural black hole. Eleven Democrats missed the vote, including Representative Jonathan Jackson, who blamed a traffic delay.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that Israelis are “working overtime to drag the US into an endless war with Iran”, as Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei dismissed reports that talks are ongoing between Tehran and Washington.
