US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East is not expanding, rejecting claims that the war is spreading. Speaking at a briefing in Washington, D.C., he said that contrary to some media headlines, the situation is strengthening US advantages rather than escalating warfare. His remarks were reported by Al Jazeera.
Hegseth expressed frustration with reports suggesting a widening conflict, even as missile attacks have occurred in several countries in the region. Observers have interpreted these incidents as signs of broader escalation. Addressing concerns about the Strait of Hormuz, he assured that Americans need not worry, though he acknowledged that fuel prices in the United States have risen by about 60 cents per gallon due to recent tensions.
He added that the potential risks around the Strait of Hormuz were already known and that the US was aware of the situation. Critics, however, questioned why such developments were allowed to occur if the risks had been anticipated.
