Kaine: Trump calling Iran war an ‘excursion’ is ‘deeply disrespectful’ to service members
Trump calls the Iran conflict a brief operation and warns of a stronger U.S. response if oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz are disrupted.
- President Donald Trump described the Iran war as 'a short-term excursion' on Monday, prompting market swings as investors bet the conflict may end soon.
