President Donald Trump has directed Vice President JD Vance to shift his attention from the Iran war to tackling corruption and crime in Democratic-controlled cities and states.
Trump urged Vance to devote his "complete and total attention" to the administration's anti-fraud campaign, after declaring earlier this week that the war was militarily "effectively over."
The shift comes as Democrats prepare to intensify congressional scrutiny of Trump's business dealings when they take control of Congress in January.
Meanwhile, security concerns persist around Iran, with the British military reporting that at least two tankers were struck by projectiles while travelling through the Strait of Hormuz in recent days.
