Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that he would not call the U.S.-Iran war a war, and could not give a timeline for when the conflict would end. Asked whether the conflict would be over by the midterm elections, Vice President Vance replied, "I wouldn't call it a war; right now there's no active shooting." "I think the reality is, I don't know the answer to that question; you'd have to ask the Iranians," he continued. The White House press briefing, held by the vice president, was the first in weeks since former press secretary Karoline Leavitt's departure. #jdvance #iran #war #cspan
