> US Vice President JD Vance declined to predict when the US-Israeli war on Iran would end, while questioning whether the conflict should be called a war. He defended US operations, blamed Iran for disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and said the military was investigating a reported strike on a wedding party in Sirik, Iran, which allegedly killed at least five people and injured nearly 70.
