AI GeneratedVice President J.D. Vance states that the U.S. is not currently at war with Iran, noting that major combat operations have largely ceased.

Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to apply heavy economic pressure on Tehran to influence its behavior.
Vice President J.D. Vance saying the U.S. isn't at war with Iran. He told
reporters that despite an exchange of strikes this week, major combat
operations against Tehran have largely stopped. So where exactly does the U.S.
stand six months into this conflict? Steve Harrigan joining us live with more
on this from Tel Aviv. Hi Steve. Bill, the Vice President also talking about a
possible end to the conflict and when that might come. He said it depends
largely on the behavior of Iran. They simply have to stop targeting commercial
vessels in the region. And in a comment that drew a lot of attention, the Vice
President said he considers at the current level of fighting that he would
not categorize this conflict as a war. Here's the Vice President. I wouldn't
call it a war. Right now there is no active shooting. I recognize there have
been places where this has flared up. Major combat operations, again, major
combat operations lasted for about six weeks. But when you ask when will this
end, you're asking me a question like when will the Iranians stop shooting at
ships? I think the reality is I don't know the answer to that question. You
would have to ask the Iranians. The U.S. continues to put tremendous pressure on
Iran's economy. By their own figures, Iran says inflation currently running at
about 70 percent and its currency, the rial, has toppled dramatically in the
past year, just about half of what it was in relation to the U.S. dollar one
year ago. Also a worrying sign for the regime. Gasoline shortages in the past.
Those have often spiked street protests across the nation. Bill, back to you.
