According to an AFP report on September 3, US Vice President Vance commented on the 3rd that the Iran conflict was not “a war,” and claimed that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz had “almost” returned to normal. At a press conference at the White House, Vance deliberately downplayed the hostilities. “I wouldn't call it war. There are currently no exchanges of fire.” He said that even though the US has hit Iranian targets twice in the last few days. One of these attacks is alleged to have killed 4 people at an Iranian wedding, and Iran has vowed to retaliate. The report said that in recent days, the US government has repeatedly emphasized that the navigation situation in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz “has been drastically restored,” and Vance expressed the same view. “If you go back three months ago, there were almost zero oil and gas shipments from the Strait of Hormuz because of Iranian threats. Now we're almost back to where we were before the conflict.” The vice president of the United States said.
