> US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth pushed back against efforts to impeach him over America’s military campaign against Iran, calling the move a “farce” and “sabotage” at a Pentagon news conference. Separately, more than 12 US Air Force aircraft left a second British airbase weeks after US bombers were withdrawn from RAF Fairford following a suspected Iran-linked security incident.
