Vance says Iran conflict is not a war despite fighting

Vance says Iran conflict is not a war despite fighting

US Vice President JD Vance stated on Thursday that the six-month conflict with Iran is not a "war," even as Iran fired at Kuwait. He said there is "no active shooting" and the US had a "responsibility" for recent strikes after Iran targeted commercial ships. The conflict has driven up gas prices and inflation, making it difficult for the Trump administration to gain public support.
