US Vice President JD Vance has insisted that the confrontation between the United States and Iran does not amount to a war, despite renewed military exchanges between the two countries.
Vance said US combat operations have ended, arguing that Washington is no longer engaged in an active military campaign even as tensions remain elevated.
His remarks come as fresh clashes between Washington and Tehran have raised concerns about a wider regional escalation following recent strikes and retaliatory attacks.
The comments highlight the administration’s effort to distinguish recent military action from a broader war, even as the security situation in the Middle East remains volatile.
