But we stopped them from getting nuclear weapons.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US president said in another part of his speech that a war with Iran was &#8220;no big deal&#8221; for the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, US Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday that he would not call the ongoing conflict with Iran a &#8220;war.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday, a journalist asked if the conflict with Iran is not a &#8220;war,&#8221; then what should it be called?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donald Trump replied: &#8220;Look, a lot of people don&#8217;t call it a war. I call it a military conflict because for us it&#8217;s a relatively small matter. It&#8217;s not a big deal. We took action in Venezuela, we didn&#8217;t lose any lives there. We lost 18 people in the conflict with Iran. We lost 100,000 people in Vietnam.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday that the United States could potentially attack Mount Kalinga (also known as Pickaxe Mountain in Western media) in Iran very soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2818,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[76,62,210,167,61],"class_list":["post-2817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-donald-trump","tag-iran","tag-iranwar","tag-irgc","tag-us"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.5 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
