Trump secretly weighs ‘finishing the job’ in Iran as Vance lets slip grim new strategy

Donald Trump is secretly weighing a return to war with Iran, with JD Vance letting slip that the White House sees the peace talks as little more than a chance to refill the world’s oil stocks.

The President has held secret talks recently with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and General Daine Caine on resuming full-scale attacks on the Iranian regime, according to the Wall Street Journal. 

The classified conversations with Trump have centered around what some officials call ‘finishing the job.’

Trump, however, is also worried that such an attack would permanently derail efforts to reach a deal to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program. 

He is reportedly open to letting negotiations extend beyond the August 18 deadline if progress is made with the regime.

Trump has said he is currently satisfied with ordering temporary strikes on Iran whenever it violates the ceasefire. That policy sparked back-and-forth fighting over the Strait of Hormuz this weekend, threatening to destroy the current negotiations.

The Vice President, meanwhile, revealed in a recent interview that Trump’s current negotiations with the regime are motivated by the US desire to refill the world’s oil supply rather than long-term peace with Iran.

‘I think what the President has told us to do is use this MOU to sort of refill the world’s oil economy, to refill some stocks. And then to see where the hand is,’ Vance said.
