According to the Guardian, Donald Trump announced on Thursday via his social media platform that the US is no longer seeking a deal with Iran. He ordered Vice President JD Vance, who had been leading efforts to restart negotiations, to redirect his 'complete and total attention' to 'Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States.' Trump stated that 'those days have long since passed,' claiming the US has seized Iranian funds and control of the Strait of Hormuz. This announcement effectively normalizes the current stalemate. Previously, Vance had been in talks with intermediaries from Iran and Qatar to end the conflict, which began in February 2026 following joint US-Israel strikes. Trump had noted last week that the war was 'effectively over' and that further escalation was unnecessary.
