Vance Admits ‘No Agreement’ With Iran After Marathon Talks

21 Hours Of Talks End In Deadlock
JD Vance has delivered a blunt update on negotiations with Iran, confirming that no deal was reached after 21 hours of high-stakes talks in Islamabad.

“The bad news is we have not reached an agreement,” Vance said, underscoring just how far apart the two sides remain despite a fragile ceasefire.

Nuclear Standoff Remains Core Obstacle
According to Vance, the central issue is Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The US is demanding a clear commitment that Tehran will not develop a nuclear weapon—a red line that has yet to be met.

“That is the core goal,” he said, adding Washington has not seen any “fundamental commitment of will” from Iran.

Iranian sources, meanwhile, accused the US of “excessive demands” and overreach, highlighting the deep mistrust still poisoning negotiations.

Hormuz And Power Politics Still In Play
While nuclear tensions dominate, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz continues to loom large in the background. Control of the vital shipping lane remains a major bargaining chip for Tehran—and a sticking point in wider talks.

Trump Shrugs Off Diplomatic Failure
Back in Washington, Donald Trump struck a defiant tone, declaring the US had already “won” regardless of whether a deal is reached.

“Maybe they make a deal, maybe they don’t—it doesn’t matter. From the standpoint of America, we win,” he said, framing the conflict as a military success rather than a diplomatic one.

Ceasefire Holds—But For How Long?
The breakdown leaves the two-week ceasefire hanging in the balance. With both sides entrenched and key issues unresolved, prospects for a lasting peace deal look increasingly uncertain.

For now, the war may be paused—but the underlying conflict is far from settled.

As expected from Trump. A born loser, who failed in everything he has touched in his life, declares a win when he doesn't see a way out any more.

Cuba next?

It appears that a civilization is about to end. Good riddance.

Yessir agree, though I expect him to start saying the "excursion" was a Democratic Hoax. He has never been able to accept any criticism nor failure on his part in all that he failed! Now I guess he is pissed off because he sees everyone noticing that he got seconds from Epstein IMHO and everyone knows it.

Well it's only about 250 yrs old so not much of a loss.

Iran should be very worried right now.

The Iranian should keep fighting and strike even harder.

US demands are unacceptable and israel is not stopping.

Hopefully they used the ceasefire to restock and prepare.

And now about to try and takeover Cuba,, Trump the moron that just keeps giving and giving.

Vance: "Unconditionally surrender or else."
Iran: "Go pound sand. Next time, actually send negotiators and not real estate brokers and the chihuahua VP."

Israel: "Erdoğan is a dictator who kills his own people." The US/Israel propaganda machine has now been turned on with Turkey and Erdoğan in its gun-sites. Turkey's next on the "regime change" list.

Trump: "China's gonna be sorry for supplying Iran with weapons! Grrrr" More bluster from the mouth-farting POTUS. Really - what are you gonna do? Why don't you go to war with China and Russia and find out?

The US/Israel will return the policy of targeting civilians in calculated genocide, and Iran will respond not with an eye for an eye, but with an eye for a eye, arm and leg.

He doesn't care. Golf this weekend, then the next project next week. He'll have forgotten about Iran by then.

His loving wife and timely re minder has dredged up re newed Epstein distraction material to lessen the Iran debacle that Vance indisputably failed to follow the art of the deal .

No doubt Cuba beckons .

Did the moon people land yet? Sorry....splash down in good 60/ 70's style. None of this bedazzling AI dropping down back on original launchpad stuff !

Why wasn't the master negotiator there himself?
