Trump compares length of ‘Iran Excursion’ to WWII and Vietnam

• President Trump has boasted about the "Iran Excursion" being shorter than other historical conflicts such as the Second World War, the Vietnam War and the Korean War, claiming it has been going on for six weeks, while the conflict actually began over nine weeks ago.
• The conflict started on February 28 with joint U.S. and Israeli missile strikes, including the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
• A ceasefire was announced on April 7, but tensions persist over Iran's blocking of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping lane.
• The conflict has led to skyrocketing gas prices for Americans and a significant drop in Trump's approval ratings, with 66 percent disapproving of his handling of the war.
• Trump recently threatened "higher-level" strikes if Iran does not agree to a peace deal, even as Tehran reviews the latest proposal to end the conflict.
