A recent report highlights a claim by Pete Hegseth, who serves as a commentator rather than a government official, that the United States did not start a conflict. The remarks have sparked criticism and debate over responsibility and accountability for the war.

Political analysts and commentators question the characterization, arguing that U.S. actions and policy decisions contributed to the escalation. The discussion centers on the history of engagement, prior decisions, and the broader context of the war.

The remarks prompted pushback from critics who view them as deflecting blame and downplaying the role of U.S. policy in initiating or prolonging hostilities. The incident has intensified ongoing debates about accountability among political leaders and media figures.
