Washington:US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States no longer requires a deal with Iran, asserting that Washington is now in a position of strength and controls the regional dynamics.
According to Maan News Agency, Trump stated that the era of needing a deal with Iran is over, citing that hundreds of billions of Iranian dollars are currently under US control, and the Strait of Hormuz is now under American jurisdiction.
Furthermore, Trump revealed that he has directed his Vice President, JD Vance, to focus on addressing corruption and crime in cities and states governed by Democrats across the United States. Vance was previously responsible for communications and negotiations with Iran, leading to speculation about the future of US-Iran negotiations and the possibility of Washington stepping away from a potential agreement with Tehran.
These statements by Trump occur amidst ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, particularly concerning the Iranian nuclear program and control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
