That’s generous of you. The only reason why I don’t believe that is because the administration hasn’t said that is the reason. If the administration had said that they would have likely actually built up some moral support from Congress and the international community.
But he didn’t do that.
I think the easier explanation is that Hegseth wants a war for his ego so that he can feel like a big man. (Trump didn’t actually care and will sign off on anything at this point.)
Considering other members of NATO are getting involved militarily and supporting the strike on Iran. It seems much more likely they know something the public doesn’t know.
It seems extremely unlikely that Hegseth can just start a war for his ego. And that wouldn’t explain the involvement of the rest of NATO.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if Hegseth is that type of person but I don’t think he has the power to cause this alone.
But again, if cutting off Iran’s support for Russia was the goal, why not just say that?
Intelligence agencies often don’t share what they know with the public. One of many reasons for doing that is it would expose the spies and methods of gathering intel.

I think it’s 100% likely that Hegseth is absolutely the kind of person that would start a war for his ego and retweets.
