## Resource

Vice President JD Vance is downplaying the Iran conflict, refusing to call it a “war” despite Iran’s recent attacks on Kuwait and ongoing strikes in the Strait of Hormuz. He insists U.S. strikes were necessary to deter further aggression, while avoiding any timeline for resolution — a move that complicates Republican messaging ahead of November’s midterms. As gas prices soar and inflation climbs, the White House faces backlash over shifting casualty reports, while oil markets remain volatile with Brent crude above $95 per barrel. Officials tout Navy control of the vital strait, claiming normal oil flow continues — but independent data shows traffic remains below pre-conflict levels. The administration may be using public statements to stabilize markets until Election Day. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
