JD Vance calls impeachment push against Pete Hegseth ‘absurd’, says move is not about Iran war

What's behind this

Israel’s outgoing prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been reported to call U.S. President Donald Trump “every day” to push for a resumption of military action against Iran, though some sources say he is not actively pressing for a restart of strikes. Gulf and Arab leaders have urged Trump to hold off any fresh Iran strikes and to prioritize diplomatic efforts. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that economic sanctions and other restrictions on Iran are working so effectively that there is currently no need to resume major combat operations.
