- The article highlights unresolved questions over civilian protections in Iran.

## Summary

The House of Representatives voted to block an effort to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth, leaving him in office despite allegations of abuses of power. The article argues that the vote shields a senior official from accountability and says Democrats could bring the issue back when they take control of Congress in January.

Republican Thomas Massie introduced eight articles of impeachment, including allegations tied to the Iran conflict, strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean and the capture of Nicolás Maduro. The article says three articles concerned alleged breaches of the 1973 War Powers Resolution, and cites claims that Hegseth weakened civilian protection measures. It also says a strike on a girls’ school in Minab killed more than 120 children; a UN-backed investigation found reasonable grounds to call it a war crime, while the Pentagon’s final investigation had not been released.
