US vice president: No timeline for ending conflict with Iran as attacks on ships continue

US Vice President J.D. Vance has declined to set a date for ending the conflict with Iran, stressing that ongoing operations depend on the nature of Iranian attacks on ships. He noted that the main combat operations lasted about six weeks and achieved their objectives.

Speaking at a press conference, Vance said he does not wish to describe the situation with Iran as a "war," and refused to provide a timeline for ending the fighting. He argued that the more important question is when Tehran will stop targeting ships.

He added that the US position is currently focused on assessing the nature of Iranian attacks against maritime navigation and the level of threat they pose to energy markets.
