Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the US does not need a deal with Iran, directing Vice President JD Vance, who had played a role in resolving the war, to focus his attention elsewhere. Trump wrote on Truth Social, "We do not need a deal with Iran. That era is long gone," adding that the US has secured hundreds of billions of dollars of their money. Yonhap reports this marks a sharp turn from the Vance-led negotiation approach, while the Korea Times notes Trump made the remarks amid an increasingly unpopular war that contributed to a Democratic takeover of Congress. Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei responded that Iran will not allow enriched nuclear material to leave the country and warned of consequences for any new US strikes.
