No, the Fed is perfectly aware of what causes inflation too: "....when interest rates go down, it becomes cheaper to borrow, so households are more willing to buy goods and services, and businesses are in a better position to purchase items to expand their businesses, such as property and equipment. Increased spending by households and businesses creates greater demand for the goods and services that businesses produce, which spurs them to hire more workers, influencing employment. And the stronger demand for goods and services may push wages and other costs higher, influencing inflation." https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/money_12856.htm Since inflation has several causes, it would ludicrous if the Fed were to reduce it to the Iran war and tariffs, as you have done.
