Iran war is not a war, says US VP Vance
JD Vance says there is no active shooting and that major combat operations only lasted for six weeks after the US-Israel attack on Feb 28.
US Vice-President JD Vance dismissed the Iran conflict as not a war, despite ongoing clashes six months after its commencement. During a White House briefing, Vance stated that there is currently no active shooting and major combat operations only lasted for six weeks. He acknowledged that fresh clashes have resumed, but emphasized that the US would not engage in talks with Iran until the attacks on commercial vessels cease.
Vance expressed doubt about Iran's claims regarding a recent wedding strike, questioning the accuracy of Iranian state media reports. Iran persisted in attacking US military bases in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates in response to the earlier strike, which it blamed on Washington. The US is investigating the incident but remains skeptical of Iran's version of events.
