Trump says US no longer pursuing Iran war deal, redirects Vance to domestic issues

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that the United States is no longer seeking a deal to end the war with Iran.

In a post on his social‑media platform, Trump said he was redirecting Vice‑President‑designate JD Vance, who had led recent attempts to restart negotiations with Tehran, to concentrate on “the massive corruption and crime taking place in Democrat‑run cities and states throughout the U.S.”

The statement marked a shift from earlier diplomatic overtures aimed at de‑escalating tensions with Iran, although no specific details of the abandoned negotiations were provided.

Trump’s comment also highlighted his focus on domestic political concerns, suggesting that Vance’s “complete and total attention” should be directed at alleged wrongdoing in Democratic‑led jurisdictions.

The announcement comes amid ongoing debate in Washington over the best approach to address both foreign policy challenges and internal governance issues.
