US Vice President JD Vance has stated that the current confrontation with Iran does not constitute a war.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, which cites Reuters, Vance commented on the situation in the Middle East, noting that while there are no active large-scale military operations, tensions have escalated in certain areas. He did not provide a specific timeline for the resolution of the conflict, emphasizing that the outcome depends on Iran's future actions. Vance further stated that peace negotiations in the region are not feasible as long as Iran continues to target commercial shipping vessels.
The administration of US President Donald Trump has been actively reviewing the US strategy toward Iran with senior aides. Reports indicate that President Trump believes sustained economic pressure remains a critical tool to compel Iran to abandon its nuclear program or to influence the regime's current trajectory.
