  • President Donald Trump described the Iran conflict as “small potatoes” for the United States.
  • Trump said he viewed it as a military conflict and compared it with the US operation in Venezuela.

President Donald Trump said Friday that the Iran war was “small potatoes” for the United States.

His comments came a day after Vice President JD Vance said he would not describe the conflict as a war. Asked about Vance’s remarks, Trump said many people did not call it a war, but that he viewed it as a military conflict.

“It’s not a big thing,” Trump told reporters, adding, “We did Venezuela, and we did this.”

A lot of people don't call it a war. I call it a military conflict because it's small potatoes for us. It's not a big thing. We did Venezuela, and we did this.
