Description

Vice-President JD Vance has said that the US and Iran failed to reach an agreement following lengthy peace talks in Pakistan. The delegations met in Islamabad during a temporary ceasefire. Vance said the US "could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms". Halting Iran's nuclear capabilities had been a "core goal" that wasn't reached. Iran's foreign ministry says the talks were "intensive", and called on Washington to refrain from "excessive demands and unlawful requests".

JD, Kushner, Witcoff. Maybe it's not a good idea for shady business guys to lead a country.

With Vance and Kushner leading the 'negotiation', it was basically a spoiler for a movie we’ve all already seen
