Iran war: President Donald Trump says the war with Iran is effectively over militarily, after meeting Qatar's prime minister at the White House — but the US naval blockade stays, and Congress is moving to impeach the defense secretary who ran the war.
Trump told reporters on Monday, November 9, that Iran's military is effectively finished and fresh attacks are quite unlikely, while warning American forces remain locked and loaded if anything changes. The blockade of Iranian ports continues, and a new Task Force Iron Gate aims to cut off trade by land. Qatar, mediating between Washington and Tehran, brought a two-day proposal from Iran; Tehran wants sanctions lifted, the US military presence reduced and frozen funds released. Secretary of State Marco Rubio cautioned the talks are not on the verge of a breakthrough, and the nuclear question is unresolved.
Meanwhile, Republican congressman Thomas Massie reintroduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of waging the war without congressional authorization and violating the War Powers Resolution. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries says he is a hard yes. A House vote could come as soon as Wednesday, November 11.
