US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Washington no longer needed an agreement with Iran, asserting that the United States controlled Tehran's money and the Strait of Hormuz.
"We don't need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"We've got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we've got their Strait!"
In the same post, Trump said he had instructed Vice President JD Vance to focus his "complete and total attention" on what he described as widespread corruption and crime in Democratic-run US states and cities.
He singled out Minnesota, California and Illinois, alleging that billions of dollars were being stolen each month and arguing that tackling the alleged corruption could help balance the federal budget.
