US Vice President JD Vance says the escalating conflict with Iran is not a “war”, despite recent US retaliatory strikes and reports of civilian deaths. Vance said the US is investigating an Iranian claim that a US strike hit a wedding party, killing civilians. He also expressed skepticism about reports from Iranian state media. The White House says diplomatic talks with Iran remain possible, but only if Tehran stops attacks on commercial shipping in the region. The developments come as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to rise, with the Strait of Hormuz and regional shipping at the centre of the confrontation.
