Trump says ‘we don’t need a deal with Iran’
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump directed Vice President JD Vance to focus his "complete and total attention" on investigating alleged corruption in Democratic-led cities, effectively ending Vance's role as lead Iran negotiator.
- The reassignment follows reports that Vance was considering face-to-face talks with Iranian security officials and his public blame of the costly, eight-month war with Iran for Republicans' midterm election losses.
- Trump claimed the U.S. "don't need a deal with Iran," asserting Washington already controls the country's money and the Strait of Hormuz, while alleging billions of dollars are stolen monthly in Democratic cities.
- Market participants interpreted the shift as a sign the U.S.-Iran war would continue, while Democrats prepare to oversee administration spending when they take control of Congress in January.
- While the administration maintains its naval blockade of Iranian ports, officials indicated that major military escalation is unlikely, leaving the conflict in a state of continued, low-intensity hostilities.
