US President Donald Trump has privately questioned whether a June agreement with Iran was a costly mistake that allowed Tehran to regroup, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing two officials.
Trump criticized the Pakistan-brokered memorandum of understanding, negotiated with help from Vice President JD Vance, arguing that it gave Iran time to recover and collect oil revenues before Washington imposed a naval blockade, according to the report.
The agreement collapsed within weeks amid disagreements over reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
The report comes as Vance considers direct negotiations with Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei in an effort to end the conflict.
