Trump says US no longer needs a deal with Iran, redirects Vance to other issues
US President Donald Trump said in a social media post on Thursday that Washington no longer needs a deal with Iran, marking another shift in his position on the war with Tehran. He asked Vice President JD Vance to turn his attention to other issues. According to Sky News Arabia, Trump described the deal phase as long over.
Why it matters
The shift points to continued volatility in Washington's stance on the war with Iran and leaves the path of negotiations unclear. That matters for the region, since escalation or de-escalation between Washington and Tehran affects Gulf security and energy markets.
Background
Trump's remarks come in the context of the war with Iran, which CNN Arabic referred to, and concern whether a deal with Tehran is still pursued. JD Vance is the US vice president. CNN Arabic described the new position as another change of course by Trump on the issue.
How outlets covered it
Both outlets agree on the core fact: Trump said Washington no longer needs a deal with Iran. CNN Arabic stressed that he had shifted his position, specified that he wrote it on social media, and said he asked Vance to turn his attention to other files. Sky News Arabia, in the text provided, focused on the announcement that no deal is needed and quoted him describing that phase as having "long gone", without mentioning Vance or the platform used.
