US President Donald Trump has signalled an end to his vice-president's push for a peace deal with Iran, saying the United States does not need an agreement with Tehran. He has directed JD Vance to focus on domestic concerns rather than Middle East diplomacy.

According to one account, Trump directed Vance to concentrate on alleged corruption by Democrats instead of the peace efforts in the Middle East. The Financial Times reported the shift as a signal that Washington's diplomatic effort to end the conflict with Iran is being scaled back.S1S2
