President Trump has publicly reversed course on US-Iran diplomacy, declaring the US no longer needs a deal with Iran and asserting control over Iranian finances and the Strait of Hormuz. This shift includes redirecting Vice President Vance from Iran negotiations to domestic issues, despite Vance's prior efforts towards direct talks. The abrupt change has led to a significant spike in Brent crude prices due to heightened fears of escalation and supply disruption.
