A petition to fire Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has started to gain traction online, citing his handling of the Iran war and other controversies.
The petition lists Hegseth's alleged failures, including the politicization of the Pentagon, the Signalgate row, and the deployment of troops in Venezuela.
It also references a video of US Representative Pat Ryan slamming Hegseth, calling him 'more deranged than SNL skits' and accusing him of having 'the blood of thirteen Americans on his hands.'
The US conflict with Iran has been met with criticism back home, with at least 13 US soldiers believed to have been killed since the war began.
