“We have brought down seven MQM-170 reconnaissance drones intact.
Additionally, the official said Tehran had intercepted seven reconnaissance aircraft over the past two weeks. This is nothing but a demonstration of our technological superiority over the enemy,” Mohebbi said. Iran has rapidly developed its national defence networks following months of intense military hostility with the United States and its Gulf allies, and now possesses advanced capabilities, according to local media. It’s not a war,” Trump said.
US President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has played down the confrontation, insisting that it should not be described as a war. “We made a lot of progress with Iran. It’s not a war. It can’t be a war when for five months nobody was hurt, killed, or anything else.
He claimed Washington had made substantial progress in dealing with Iran and was extracting more oil than it had before the hostilities. We’re taking out more oil now than we were before the war.
Vice President JD Vance attributed the party’s defeat to the war, writing on social media, “The reason we lost is the war.” His remarks came after the Republican Party suffered setbacks in the US midterm elections, prompting a softer tone from the US President. The war with Iran emerged as one of the factors behind the Republican Party’s poor performance in the midterm elections, with the conflict adding to public dissatisfaction over rising fuel prices and the cost of living. The prolonged military campaign and its economic consequences became a liability for Trump and Republican candidates, particularly among voters who wanted the administration to focus on domestic concerns rather than a foreign conflict.
