00:00The United States Secretary of Defense, Pete Hefeth, is facing possible impeachment after Republican Congressman Thomas Massey introduced a resolution
00:08to remove him from office.
00:10On Monday, Massey took the floor of the House of Representatives to present eight articles on impeachment that accused Hefeth
00:18of carrying out unlawful orders and contravening the United States Constitution.
00:23Four of them concern Iran and accuse the Secretary of Defense of directing and sustaining military actions in the Persian
00:30nation without congressional authorization.
00:33One charge accuses him of violating protections intended to minimize civilian casualties, this in relation to the strike on a
00:42girls' school in Minab.
00:43Moreover, Hefeth is also accused of directing and executing unlawful military strikes and operations in Yemen and of authorizing extrajudicial
00:53lethal strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific that have killed over 220 people.
00:58Furthermore, an article accuses the Secretary of committing an act of war against Venezuela with the attack of January 3rd
01:08that concluded with the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro.
