US-Iran war news LIVE: US Vice President JD Vance on Thursday dismissed the use of the word “war” to describe the ongoing fighting between the United States and Iran as he steered clear of predicting that the six-month-old conflict would be over by November's midterm elections.
US Vice President JD Vance rejected the term "war" to describe the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran on Thursday, stating he did not believe it was a war and asserting there was no active shooting. Despite Washington's recent attack on Tehran, targeting the Lakar Island, Iran retaliated and attacked US forces stationed in the Middle East.
Vance emphasized in a statement on Thursday that the US administration has a variety of options to address Tehran, including economic, military, diplomatic, and covert measures, as tensions between the two nations continue to rise following another round of strikes.
