Trump calls Iran conflict 'small potatoes' and defends Vance's position that it's not a 'war'
US Iran war: American President Donald Trump defended Vice President JD Vance's remarks about the Iran conflict. Trump stated the ongoing military actions are considered small potatoes for the United States. He noted that U.S. strikes on Iran are intermittent and not a full-scale war. The conflict has resulted in eighteen U.S. service member deaths and significant financial costs. Trump compared these losses to those in Vietnam and other past U.S. military engagements.
