US Vice President JD Vance Says Iran Conflict Is Not a War, No End Date Given
US Vice President JD Vance stated that the ongoing conflict with Iran should not be called a war, noting that major combat operations ended after about six weeks and there is currently no active shooting. He emphasized that the US will not negotiate with Iran until attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz cease. Vance credited US efforts with averting a global energy crisis despite renewed strikes and declined to provide a timeline for the conflict's end amid rising political pressures ahead of the November midterm elections.
