U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, followed by Iranian retaliation, have triggered a war, per AP's definition.
The Associated Press is calling the recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and Iran’s retaliatory missile and drone attacks a war, citing the scale, intensity, and mutual targeting that meet its definition of armed conflict between nations, despite no formal declarations.
The escalation followed the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei and U.S. President Trump’s calls for regime change, prompting Iran to strike Israel and Gulf allies.
AP determined the situation qualifies as war based on sustained combat, casualties, and strategic objectives, consistent with its past use of the term in conflicts like Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas.
The term is used in lowercase unless part of a formal name, and AP will continue monitoring developments.
