US Vice President JD Vance said Thursday he would not categorize the Iran war as a war, despite continuing clashes with Tehran six months after the start of the conflict. Vance's comments came amid growing signs that President Donald Trump is trying to draw a line under the conflict that has bogged down his administration. "I wouldn't call it a war.
