Trump says ‘it doesn’t matter’ if you call Iran conflict a war or not: ‘It’s small potatoes’

President Donald Trump reiterated Vice President JD Vance's position that the military operation in Iran should not be characterized as a war. During a White House press briefing, Vance stated there is currently no active shooting. Although Trump has previously referred to the situation as a war, he now describes the intermittent conflict as small potatoes. This perspective persists despite reports of U.S. troop deaths occurring during the ongoing military operations within the region of Iran.
