Day of Infamy: The March 20, 2008 US Declaration of War on Iran
Per the following two articles it's currently an economic war.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8429

"What it really means is that the US, again through FinCEN, has declared two acts of war: one against Iran's banks and one against any financial institution anywhere in the world that tries to do business with an Iranian bank."

March 20, 2008, destined to be another day of infamy. On this date the US
officially declared war on Iran. But it's not going to be the kind of war
many have been expecting.

No, there was no dramatic televised announcement by President George W. Bush
from the White House oval office. In fact on this day, reports <1> the
Washington Post, Bush spent some time communicating directly with Iranians,
telling them via Radio Farda (the US-financed broadcaster that transmits to
Iran in Farsi, Iran's native language) that their government has "declared
they want to have a nuclear weapon to destroy people." But not to worry, he
told his listeners in Farsi-translated Bushspeak: Tehran would not get the
bomb because the US would be "firm."
