Donald Trump says "We don’t need a deal with Iran" as U.S. shifts focus from Tehran talks

President Donald Trump said Washington did not need an agreement with Tehran and shifted Vice President JD Vance away from U.S.-Iran negotiations toward combating corruption and crime in Democratic-led states and cities. A day later, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it had targeted a U.S. military installation in Bahrain in what it called retaliation for a U.S. strike on Iranian soil, according to the semi-official Tasnim agency. U.S. Central Command said two drones launched toward Bahrain were intercepted with no casualties or damage, and it rejected Iran’s claim of destroying a radar. The exchange came as prospects for an accord dimmed, Iran warned it would not accept a stalemate under sanctions and a naval blockade, and vessel attacks in the Strait of Hormuz hit a record monthly level.
