US President Donald Trump said Thursday that Washington no longer needs an agreement with Iran, claiming the United States has significant leverage over Tehran, including control of the Strait of Hormuz, according to Anadolu Agency.
“We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed,” Trump wrote on “Truth Social”.
He also claimed that Washington had secured Iranian financial assets and control of the strategically important waterway.
“We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!” he wrote.
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital route for global energy shipments and has long been a point of tension between Iran and the US. Disputes there have implications for international oil markets and regional security.
In the same post, Trump said he had instructed Vice President JD Vance to give his “complete and total attention” to what he called “Massive Corruption and Crime” in states and cities led by Democrats.
Trump named Minnesota, California and Illinois, alleging that billions of dollars were being stolen each month.
“Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity,” Trump wrote, accusing Democratic leaders of corruption.
