Trump Declares US No Longer Needs Iran Deal, Shifts Focus to Domestic Issues

November 13, 2026 • 26 minutes ago •

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump stated on Thursday that the United States does not require a deal with Iran, instructing Vice President JD Vance to redirect his efforts towards addressing alleged crime and corruption in cities governed by Democrats, rather than pursuing peace negotiations amid the ongoing conflict.

Trump’s remarks followed a report from the Wall Street Journal indicating that Vance was contemplating direct peace talks with a senior Iranian security official. This shift in focus comes after Vance attributed the costly war with Iran as a contributing factor to the Republican Party’s disappointing performance in the recent midterm elections.

In a notable change from his previous stance, Trump emphasized, “We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, hundreds of billions of dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!” referring to the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. This statement reflects a significant pivot in Trump’s approach to foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran.

Looking ahead, the implications of Trump’s directive may affect both domestic and international political landscapes, as the administration prioritizes internal issues over foreign diplomacy. Observers will be keen to see how this decision influences Vance’s agenda and whether it leads to further escalation in US-Iran relations.
