What happened
Donald Trump stated he does not need to complete a deal with Iran at this time, directing JD Vance to focus on domestic issues rather than international diplomacy. Trump replaced JD Vance with Steve Witkoff in the Iran talks. This decision followed the collapse of a memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran in June 2026, which had opened a 60-day window for negotiations to finalize an end to the Middle Eastern war.
