Trump Claims US-Iran Conflict Is Insignificant, Not a State of War

On September 4, President Trump stated that the ongoing US-Iran conflict, which has lasted for over six months, is "insignificant" for the United States, and is better described as a "military conflict" rather than a war. He pointed out that the US is currently only conducting "intermittent strikes," and that there has not been continuous fighting between the two sides, acknowledging Vice President Pence's viewpoint. This conflict has resulted in the deaths of 18 US military personnel, but compared to conflicts like the Vietnam War, which caused tens of thousands of US military deaths, its scale is "not large." Trump emphasized that "losing one person is too much" and stated that the US has achieved "significant results" regarding Iran, with the core objective being to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. The conflict has driven up energy prices, putting domestic political pressure on the Trump administration, as public approval of its handling of the Iran conflict is low, and the Republican Party faces pressure to maintain its majority in Congress in the midterm elections in November.
