> Analysts say the US-Iran war is stuck in a “no war, no peace” situation, with apparent divisions in the Trump administration over the conflict. Trump says a deal with Iran is unnecessary and has redirected Vice President JD Vance to focus on alleged corruption and crime in Democratic-run cities and states. Vance favors a deal and has taken part in negotiations, while Trump has sent mixed signals about further strikes.
