‘I Don’t Know’: JD Vance Dodges Iran War End Timeline Question; Tehran Holds Cards? | Watch

US Vice President JD Vance has refused to give a timeline for when the ongoing US-Israeli military campaign against Iran will end, even as tensions continue to fuel global uncertainty and keep energy prices elevated. Speaking at a White House briefing, Vance sought to downplay the situation, saying he “wouldn’t call it a war” because there was “no active shooting” at the moment, while acknowledging that the conflict has flared up in several places. His remarks come after fresh exchanges of attacks between Washington and Tehran this week, despite a brief period of relative calm. With no diplomatic talks currently underway, questions remain over how long the confrontation could continue and what it means for stability in the Middle East, oil markets, and US domestic politics.
