US President Donald Trump has instructed Vice President JD Vance to cease diplomatic negotiations with Iran, stating that the United States no longer needs an agreement with Tehran. Trump declared: “We have Iran’s money and the Strait. The days of deals are long gone.”

Multiple Israeli sources (Ynet and Israel Hayom) report that Trump has redirected Vance’s focus entirely towards combating corruption and crime in Democrat-controlled US cities and states, effectively halting Iran diplomatic efforts.

The directive raises significant questions about the future of diplomatic channels with Iran at a critical geopolitical moment. Vance had recently expressed openness to face-to-face meetings with Iranian officials, marking a shift from Trump’s previous hardline stance.

This development has immediate implications for Middle East stability and US foreign policy under the new Trump administration, particularly affecting Israel’s regional security calculations.
