Former U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that a deal with Iran is no longer necessary, stating that the United States already possesses Iran's financial assets and control over "their strait." Trump instructed Vice President J.D. Vance to focus on corruption and crime in Democrat-led U.S. cities and states.
Trump previously expressed doubts about the utility of a memorandum of understanding with Iran, suggesting it might have benefited Tehran by allowing it to gain time and strengthen its position. He noted Vance's involvement in negotiations and the preparation of the memorandum's terms. According to Trump's assessment, the agreements enabled Tehran to postpone key issues, reorganize its forces, and continue oil exports.
Earlier reports indicated Trump believed military confrontation with Iran had effectively ended, though ongoing military activity, escalation warnings, and negotiations suggested otherwise. Tehran also did not appear to readily accept the former president's assessment.
Furthermore, a senior Israeli official familiar with Washington consultations revealed significant disagreements within the Trump administration regarding the future strategy toward Iran.
