Donald Trump has aligned himself with Vice President JD Vance in downplaying the confrontation with Iran, saying it should not be described as a war.

Trump said the fighting had taken place intermittently. “A lot of people don’t call it a war. I call it a military conflict because, for us, it’s something minor, not a big deal,” he said.

His comments followed Vance’s argument that the confrontation did not constitute a war. Trump’s wording framed the episode as limited, even as the two sides remain engaged in fighting.

A lot of people don’t call it a war. I call it a military conflict because, for us, it’s something minor, not a big deal.
