While Marko Rubio, Secretary of State, is attending the G7 meeting in Paris, he was asked about the charges involved in the Hegseth dismissal articles.
In his response, he tried to justify the administration’s policies regarding the attacks on the Caribbean and the Pacific, as well as actions on Venezuela and Iran.
For all these issues, Pete not only carried out a direct order of the president, who under our Constitution has the competence and responsibility to ensure the safety of the Americans but also accomplished them very effectively in all these fronts, Rubio said.
The charges brought to Hegseth are:
IRANIA
Four of the charges relate to the Iran war.
On the first three charges, Hegseth is accused of ordering, authorising and continuing military action across the 60-day border, without an official declaration of war or authorization by Congress.
The fourth indictment charges him with ignoring laws requiring the downplay of civilian victims during military operations. This charge relates to the assault on a school for girls in Minab, Iran, where dozens of children were killed on the first day of the war.
V ENEZUELA
Two counts relate to Venezuela.
Hegseth is accused of ordering the kidnapping of a sovereign leader, Nicolas Maduro, as well as of authorizing lethal attacks in the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean that have caused more than 200 casualties.
JEMENIA
Hegseth is accused of ordering and implementing illegal military attacks and operations, specifically for the 2025 air and naval campaign undertaken by the US and Great Britain against the noses, which are backed by Iran.
