‘We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed,’ President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social

The US should abandon any attempts to strike a deal with Iran, President Donald Trump said yesterday, instructing Vice President JD Vance to turn his focus instead to corruption and crime in Democratic-led cities and states.

“We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Before Trump’s announcement, Vance had reportedly been at the forefront of diplomatic efforts with Tehran and was exploring the possibility of meeting senior Iranian officials in person.
