Trump: US does not need a deal with Iran

The US President has directed his Vice President to focus on domestic issues and acknowledged the political cost of the conflict during midterms.

United States President Donald Trump has declared that Washington does not need a new deal with Iran, stating that the time for diplomacy has passed. According to Trump, the US already controls assets belonging to the Tehran regime and holds key strategic positions in the Strait of Hormuz, as reported by the Jerusalem Post and the Ukrainian news outlet Dzerkalo Tyzhnia.

Meanwhile, Trump has directed Vice President J.D. Vance to shift his focus away from the conflict in the Middle East and concentrate on combating corruption in Democrat-run states and cities. Trump also acknowledged that the war had a negative political impact on Republican performance during the midterm elections. Separately, Gulf allies have reportedly urged the administration to exercise restraint regarding further strikes. Further details have not yet been released.
