A Daily Mail news article by Phillip Nieto, published 12 November 2026, reports that Donald Trump has pulled JD Vance off the Iran war and ordered him to hunt what Trump calls massive corruption in Democrat-run cities instead. Vance had led negotiations since spring 2026 and recently proposed fresh talks to General Mohsen Rezaei, but Trump wrote on Truth Social, "We don't need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed," while still weighing how to end the war.
