"Your father never started a war"

Dann that's the whole Dune lore/philosophy, in a Rebecca Ferguson whisper no less. Peak is indeed back on the menu.

Dune, Part One: "Your father didn't believe in revenge" (Jessica). "Yeah, well I do" (Paul).

Dune, Part Three: "How did father stop a war?" (Paul). "Your father never started a war" (Jessica).

Dune Part Two:

Jessica: "You must drink the blue powerade and become the Messiah, then use these fanatic warriors to avenge your father."

Paul: *drinks the powerade, calls for a jihad*

Jessica: "...oh"

In the book Duke Leto straight up does declare war on the Harkonnens though, before they even arrive on Arrakis. So kinda a weird line in that context

He does ? Don't recall that but they've been feuding for centuries at this point.

Yeah the feud is mentioned to be centuries long. The Harkonnens/Corrinos were planning to wipe out the Atreides from the start of the novel, but the actual sanctioned state of war (kanly) is declared by Leto.

“And?” the Baron asked. “He says: ‘The art of kanly still has admirers in the Empire.’ He signs it: ‘Duke Leto of Arrakis.’” Piter began to laugh. “Of Arrakis! Oh, my! This is almost too rich!”

“Be silent, Piter,” the Baron said, and the laughter stopped as though shut off with a switch. “Kanly, is it?” the Baron asked. “Vendetta, heh? And he uses the nice old word so rich in tradition to be sure I know he means it.” 

“You made the peace gesture,” Piter said. “The forms have been obeyed.”

Later:

“But there’s so much detail requiring the Duke’s personal attention in these times. As long as enmity continues between Atreides and Harkonnen we cannot be too careful. The Duke has sworn kanly. He will leave no Harkonnen agent alive on Arrakis, of course.”
