“We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days are long gone,” he writes.

Trump continues:

“We have their money - hundreds of billions of dollars - and we have their strait!” he writes, referring to the Strait of Hormuz.

The move comes at the end of a post on Truth Social in which he first writes that he has ordered Vice President JD Vance to focus “fully” on “corruption” in cities and states led by Democrats.

Iran has restricted traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz since the war with the US and Israel broke out in February. The US has responded with a blockade of Iranian ports. Both sides claim to control the strait.
