President Trump said Thursday that the United States no longer needs a deal with Iran, declaring that "those days have long since passed."
Instead, he's directed Vice President JD Vance to train his sights on the ever-growing crime and corruption taking place in Democrat-run cities and states.
Trump singled out Minnesota, California, and Illinois as "poorly run, corrupt disasters" in a Truth Social post earlier this morning, warning that "Billions of Dollars (are) being stolen each and every month."
He also claimed the federal budget could be balanced by straightening out the massive corruption alone. Then the president turned to Tehran.
"We don’t need a deal with Iran," he insisted. "Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait! Thank you for your attention to this matter."
BREAKING: PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS UNITED STATES DOESN'T NEED A DEAL WITH IRAN ANYMORE https://t.co/UzRmgu4jHL
— Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) November 12, 2026 Trump's comments seem to respond to a Wall Street Journal report that Vance, who has been leading diplomatic outreach to Tehran, was considering face-to-face talks with Mohsen Rezaei. Rezaei is the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
The Journal, citing officials, said Trump had told aides he was open to Vance restarting negotiations. No meeting had been scheduled, and Rezaei has denied that such talks were planned.
Trump's focus away from Iran, practically dismissing any need for further diplomacy, comes following a midterm election disaster that saw voters urge more of a spotlight on domestic issues.
President Trump said Wednesday the U.S. has already won the war against Iran, but when the conflict will end is a different question. “America did not start a war with Iran,” he said at a Veterans Day event at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. “Iran has been waging war on America since 1979. This should have been taken care of a long time ago.” “Under this administration, and it was about time, somebody fought back,” he continued. “All of us fought back. We fought back. And we seriously fought back. And we won.”

... America since 1979. This should have been taken care of a long time ago.” “Under this administration, and it was about time, somebody fought back,” he continued. “All of us fought back. We fought back. And we seriously fought back. And we won.”
The White House said it is confident the United States is "in a very strong position with control of the Strait of Hormuz and the Iranian economy collapsing," adding that the naval blockade — Operation Economic Outcast, along with Operation Iron Gate — "will continue with full effect."
“President Trump holds all the cards and will do whatever is best for the United States,” they told Fox News Digital.
Iran has been demanding that Washington lift that blockade, release frozen assets, and ease oil sanctions as conditions for talks. Secretary of State Marco Rubio this week called those demands "totally unrealistic," while saying the United States would be "prepared for diplomacy" if Tehran changed its position.
Trump's post makes it clear America no longer needs to bargain with the volatile nation.
Oil prices jumped after the post, with markets reading the remarks as a sign that a deal is not immediately in sight.

HOORAY President Trump!
Bumping so as to chuckle at the TDS dweebs on FR.
All who criticize President Trump—except God and Melania—are morons.
A Strike will lose his mind. 😆
The Trump sycophants are anxious to show this as some sort of iron resolve, or imminent victory.
We all cheered when POTUS demanded Unconditional Surrender.
I remind you all what the JCS Chairman and Hegseth said the day after the bombing started. There were two principal goals:
- Destruction or removal of the U-235
- Elimination of Iran’s ability to project power outside its own borders
NEITHER of those objectives has been accomplished. Not even close.
Now, who’s the moron?
They have been emboldened by the Democrat's so far successful election shenanigans. I am not so sure that the Democrat's plans for “investigations” will not completely blow up in their faces. And where will this leave the hapless TDS infected blowhards here? Most will likely retreat back to the threads worshipping their greatest hero Zelensky who again tried to throw President Trump under the bus.
Look in the mirror!
We didn't need a war with Iran, either.
Those who refuse to accept the facts are the morons.
Don’t be one.
Those who believe that they possess more and better information than those who have access to classified information in a time of war are the morons. You of all people should know better!
Yeah, we can “win” in four or five years, but not without ground troops dying for Israel. The minute that happens I want Trump impeached or 25th Amendmented and removed from office.
It is time to take out all civilian infrastructure.
We ALL know Iran continues to project power outside its own borders and we ALL know the US does not have possession of the U235...which remains buried in the desert.
And that’s without access to classified information.
The time for talks is over. They do not intend, nor have they ever, to cooperate.
All the TDS FReeper voices and pro-EUrocrat warriors hate it, so we know Trump is right again.
Also I have wanted Iran to be nuked since 1979 so his is the kind and fluffy opinion from my perspective.
The so-called war is nothing more than a patrol boat.
You. How many have died from the war in the last 6 mos?
I don’t understand why we are not just dropping pallets of guns and ammo and let them go at it as a civil war. They won’t have time to fire missiles and drones. They will be to busy getting shot at.
Why does the “market” think that a “deal” with Iran stabilizes the market? Iran breaks deals everytime.
