  • President Donald Trump called the Iran conflict a military confrontation of limited significance during Friday’s Oval Office remarks.

  • He answered ABC reporter Rachel Scott’s question about Vice President JD Vance’s characterization of the conflict as not a war.

  • Since the United States and Israel launched the war in late February, 18 U.S. service members have been killed and more than 750 wounded.

  • Democratic lawmakers, including several former military personnel, criticized what appeared to be a cavalier attitude toward the dead.
  • I’ll tell you what, a lot of people don’t call it a war,” Trump said. “I call it a military conflict because it’s small potatoes for us. It’s not a big thing. We did Venezuela, and we did this. In Venezuela, we lost nobody, and this we lost 18 people. In Vietnam you lost a 100 thousand people, and in other conflicts you lost tens of thousands of people.— Donald J. Trump, in the Oval Office, discussing whether the Iran conflict is a war.
