Donald Trump has said he was not responsible for starting the 2026 conflict with Iran. Instead, he placed the blame on his Defence Secretary, Pete Hegseth, claiming that Hegseth was the first to push for military action.
Trump’s statement comes at a time when criticism of the conflict is growing both inside the United States and internationally. Many experts and political leaders have raised concerns about how the situation was handled and whether it could have been avoided.
Officials in Washington have also given mixed signals about the progress of the conflict. While some statements suggest efforts are being made to reduce tensions, others deny that any real negotiations are taking place. This has created confusion about the direction of US policy.
Meanwhile, Iran has rejected claims that it is in talks with the United States. Iranian officials say there are no ongoing negotiations and have dismissed such reports as false. The situation on the ground remains tense, with continued military activity raising fears of further escalation.
The ongoing tensions between the US and Iran could affect global stability, including oil markets and regional security. As the conflict continues, many countries are closely watching developments and calling for a peaceful resolution to avoid further damage.
