U.S. President Donald Trump has floated a new strategy for his war against Iran: leave the conflict in limbo and walk away.
On Thursday, Trump said he told Vice President JD Vance not to negotiate with Iran and suggested the conflict could end without a deal to impose agreed-upon limits on Tehran’s nuclear weapons program — after repeatedly stressing that was why the U.S. and Israel began bombing Iran in the first place.
“We don’t need a deal with Iran,” Trump wrote on social media. “Those days have long since passed.”
