A White House official would not say whether U.S. talks with Iran have ended, after President Donald Trump posted on social media Thursday morning that "We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed."

When asked whether the president meant there are no more negotiations happening with the Iranians, the official provided a statement highlighting what Trump said this morning -- the U.S. naval blockade and economic pressure against Iran -- adding, "President Trump holds all the cards, will do what is best for the United States, and will make sure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon."

"The United States is in a very strong position with control of the Strait of Hormuz and the Iranian economy collapsing. The President has been clear that the greatest naval blockade in history, Operation Economic Outcast, and the new Operation Iron Gate will continue with full effect. President Trump holds all the cards, will do what is best for the United States, and will make sure that Iran never has a nuclear weapon," a White House official said in a statement.

The president's post came after he said the war with Iran would end "soon" on Wednesday during his Veteran's Day remarks at Arlington National Cemetery.

President Donald Trump said in a post to social media on Thursday that the U.S. doesn't "need a deal with Iran," adding that he had directed Vice President JD Vance -- a key Iran war negotiator -- to instead focus "his complete and total attention" on tackling alleged corruption and crime in Democrat-run cities and states.

"We don't need a deal with Iran. Those days have long since passed. We've got their money, Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we've got their Strait!" he wrote.

If the U.S. attacks Pickaxe Mountain, Iran will respond by targeting all U.S. military bases, including bases in European countries, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Gen. Mohsen Rezaei, warned in an interview on Lebanon’s Al Mayadeen TV, according to IRIB.

Rezaei also said that if the enemy wants to launch a new attack against Iran, based on their own calculations, the war will not last more than 4 to 5 days, according to IRIB

President Donald Trump said "America did not start a war with Iran," but that "Iran has been waging war on America since 1979," while speaking at Arlington National Cemetery to commemorate Veterans’ Day.

Trump also claimed the U.S. "won" the war but that he wants to make sure "total victory" is achieved, saying it was "about time somebody fought back."

"It’ll take them 25 years to rebuild back while we have destroyed, and hopefully we won't have to destroy any more of that country. Got a lot of work to do to put it back,” Trump said.

Trump again promised that the war in Iran will end "soon," though he did not provide a concrete timeline. He also highlighted the 18 U.S. servicemembers that have fallen from hostile action since the war began in February, but he made a point to argue that active fighting only took place for "a few weeks."

“We began operations against Iran seven months ago, of which only a few weeks were active, hard fighting. We lost 18 beautiful souls, but when this conflict is over, and it will be soon, the entire world will be a much safer and better place, more peaceful place,” he said.
