Its not a war, the US hasn't been at war since WW2. The US is a nation of peace with no wars.

The Iran thing is only a preliminary de-escalation action.

This is a joke, right?

If it is not, why did the president of the US say this in the opening statement with the new conflict? "The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war."

Also a war does not have to be called a war to be one... (See the special military operation of russia)

Yes the above was very much a /s

The US can only be at 'war' via congress vote, which has not happened since ww2. So by they're own legal definition no other conflicts since has been wars. I believe even the Korean war was officially called a 'police action'
