VANCE REMARKS
Iranians decided not to accept our terms
We were talking to the president consistently. I don’t know how many times we talked to him, a half dozen times, a dozen times over the past 21 hours, we obviously also talked to Admiral Cooper, to Pete, to Marco, to the entire national security team. We talked to Scott Bessent a number of times. So look, we were constantly in communication with the team because we were negotiating in good faith. And we leave here, and we leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We’ll see if the Iranians accepted,” Vance said at the end of the presser.
“We talked about a number of issues beyond that, and so certainly those things came up. But again, we just could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms, I think that we were quite flexible. We were quite accommodating. The President told us, You need to come here in good faith and make your best effort to get a deal. We did that, and unfortunately we weren’t able to make any headway,” Vance said
The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America. So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement, we’ve made very clear what our red lines are, what things we’re willing to accommodate them on, and what things we’re not willing to accommodate them on and we made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept our terms,” VP Vance said.

Vance is now headed home to America from Islamabad, Pakistan
Iran is totally defeated. America has all the cards, and JD did NOT cave to their demands.

The negotiations in Islamabad were never meant to succeed, they were meant to prove that they couldn’t.
From the start, intelligence from the CIA and Mossad showed the divide with the Islamic Republic of Iran was not negotiable.
This was not a gap to close, but a clash of fundamentals tied to the regime’s survival.
The 21-hour talks only confirmed it. Long sessions, shifting positions, and no movement on core issues. The gap became clearer, not smaller.
Sending JD Vance was part of the strategy. As someone skeptical of war, sitting across the table and seeing it firsthand removes the argument that better diplomacy could have worked.
He said it plainly afterward. There were real discussions, but no agreement, and that is worse for Iran than for the United States.
This was not a failed negotiation. It was confirmation that no real deal was ever possible.

JUST IN: Esmail Baghaei, the regime’s spokesperson, says negotiations have not gone well, echoing JD Vance’s statements.
He described diplomacy as a continuation of “holy war” or sacred defense, while invoking longstanding grievances against the U.S. and Zionism.

In Toronto, Islamic Republic supporters made hostile hand gestures mimicking ballistic missiles fired at U.S. forces and Israel – while cheering the West’s destruction.
Many are tied to regime networks, with officials, IRGC elites, and their relatives living luxuriously across Canada, the U.S., and UK.
They flood Western cities, spreading intimidation while enjoying the freedoms they plot to destroy.
Cheerleading the leading state sponsor of terror in the West is hypocritical and exposes their true loyalties.
