Vance Says Iran Conflict Isn’t a ‘War,’ as He Refuses to Say when It Will End
Vance said U.S. operations have reduced Iran’s defense production and are protecting shipping as he declined to say when the conflict will end.
- On Thursday, United States Vice President Vance declined to offer a timeline for ending the US-Iran conflict or when gas prices might return to $3, stating instead that resolution depends solely on Iran's actions.
- The conflict began six months ago with joint US-Israeli airstrikes, though tensions remain centered on the Strait of Hormuz where the US conducted a multi-faceted operation hitting nearly 60 military targets on Tuesday.
- Updated Pentagon figures show 18 US service members killed and 790 wounded since February, while Vance said the military is investigating reports that recent strikes killed four people at a wedding near Sirik.
- Seeking to manage public perception ahead of midterm elections, Vance insisted the administration maintains no active negotiations with Iran, emphasizing continued military protection of shipping to prevent a worldwide energy crisis.
- Vance asserted that a new deal transferring control of 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil reserves to the US would help lower global oil costs, though he could not confirm the conflict would end by November 3.
