Donald Trump has pulled JD Vance off the Iran war and put him to work hunting fraud in Democratic cities instead.

‘We don’t need a deal with Iran,’ the president wrote on Truth Social Thursday. 'Those days have long since passed. We’ve got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we’ve got their Strait!'

In the same post, Trump ordered his vice president to turn his ‘complete and total attention’ to what he called massive corruption and crime in Democrat-run cities and states.

The order strips Vance of his directive to negotiate an end to the war that he has carried since last spring.

Vance had recently written to General Mohsen Rezaei, one of the regime's most senior officials, proposing a fresh round of comprehensive talks that he would lead himself.

However, Trump has spent recent weeks privately disparaging the June memorandum of understanding that Vance helped broker over the summer, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Trump reportedly claimed it handed Tehran the months it needed to rebuild its military arsenal and generate oil money before Washington clamped a naval blockade back on.

Prior to the war, Vance was one of the only cabinet officials to privately advise Trump not to launch strikes against Iran.
