Trump calls Iran conflict 'military exercise,' denies war pledge

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

President Donald Trump has referred to the ongoing conflict with Iran as a "military exercise" rather than a war, despite significant fighting and casualties. He has also denied promising to avoid new wars, stating he would build the strongest military. The U.S. has engaged in missile and drone exchanges, naval blockades, and strikes against Iranian targets, while Iran has threatened commercial ships. Congress has shown signs of assertiveness, with the House voting to limit Trump's war-making abilities against Iran. AI
