JD Vance said the US wasn’t at war with Iran, just its nuclear program and these are surely the only 13 responses you need
JD Vance, surely the only person Donald Trump could have found to be his vice president even less likeable than Donald Trump, has been keen to point out that despite launching historic bombing raids against Iran, the US isn’t actually at war with Iran.
Oh no, sirree!
The vice president said the US was at war with Iran’s nuclear program. With the country of Iran itself, things have presumably never been better.
WELKER: Is the United States now at war with Iran?
JD VANCE: No. We’re not at war with Iran. We’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program. pic.twitter.com/QKTNXy4WRz

And these people surely said it best.

Pretty sure if someone sent 125 planes including three strategic bombers and dropped 14 MOPs on us, we’d call it “war.”
That’s not a reason *not* to do it, but this is just Vance trying to soothe a MAGA base that’s been lied to (again) https://t.co/tzC5WrxZGj— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) June 22, 2025

You can’t be at war with “a program.”

Serious question: does maga ever get insulted by how stupid the leadership thinks the base is?

It’s not war, its just diplomacy by other means https://t.co/Km8iwSux8T
