Anti-war protesters repeatedly interrupted Pete Hegseth’s panel on autonomous warfare at the Association of the United States Army conference in Washington, denouncing him over the Iran war and U.S. policy in Gaza. The demonstrators took turns shouting accusations including that Hegseth was a “war criminal,” while security escorted them from the venue; reports differed on the exact number of protesters. Hegseth initially responded with a quip, then continued speaking as the disruptions unfolded.
