Good day all. Now that the attempts to get the Iranian regime to understand that they don’t have a leg to stand on have failed, (Not that anyone with any functioning brain cells is surprised about), people are wondering why the talks collapsed.
The basic reason is simple, Iran is run by delusional idiots and has been since the current regime, less those now fornicating with their 72 virgin goats, overthrew the Shah, took power and then declared war on the United States. They thought they actually had leverage. Here are the details from Fox News:
Peace negotiations with Iran fell apart after Tehran severely misjudged what kind of leverage the regime believed it held, a U.S. official told Fox News Digital on Sunday.
The Islamic regime has gotten used to dealing with feckless American presidents as well as others who wanted to deal with them as the deserved, but had problems with the American State Department. Far to many of those people forget which country they are actually representing. Then came the first Trump administration and we started seeing a president who wasn’t going to play games with Iran. Now that he’s back, he’s doing what should have been done 40 years ago.
While Vice President JD Vance left Islamabad, Pakistan, without a deal between the U.S. and Iran, the official said Vance used the talks to measure the Iranians own assessment of their position in the negotiations.
Vance found that Tehran thought they held a strong hand going into negotiations, according to the official, who added that no deal can be achieved when one party deludes itself into believing they have leverage that, in reality, they do not have.
The Mad Mullahs of Iran may have thought they could play their usual games regarding the negotiations. Considering the last near 50 years, they weren’t wrong. Only Ronald Reagan actually did anything that hurt them and even he pulled his punches. Now they are dealing with a President who thinks the Jacksonian ideas for battle are for wimps.
The high-stakes talks between the U.S. and Iran ended without a deal after Iranian officials refused to accept American terms, Vance said earlier Sunday during a press conference from the Serena Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan.
“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,” Vance said at the time. “And we’ve made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept our terms.”
There are a number of nonnegotiable conditions that we gave Iran. Working on nuclear weapons was at the top of the list and for good reason. The Mad Mullahs, at least those not turned into road kill, have made no secret of their plans regarding these weapons. If they get nukes, they will use them. The primary targets would be Israel and the United States. They either don’t understand what the response would be, or they don’t care.
The official said the U.S. and Iran failed to reach an agreement on all of Washington’s red lines, which include: Iran ending all uranium enrichment; the dismantling of all Iran’s major nuclear enrichment facilities; the retrieval of highly enriched uranium; the acceptance of a broader peace, security and de-escalation framework that includes regional allies; an end to the funding of Iran’s terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis; and Iran fully opening the Strait of Hormuz with no tolls for passage.
Iran’s response was their own nonnegotiable terms.
- Lifting of all sanctions: Full removal of primary and secondary international sanctions on Iran, plus the release/unfreezing of Iranian assets abroad.
- Control over the Strait of Hormuz: Continued Iranian sovereignty and jurisdiction over the strait, including the right to regulate passage (with some reports mentioning potential fees or tolls on vessels, such as per barrel of oil or per ship).
- US military withdrawal: Complete withdrawal of US combat forces from the Middle East region.
- End to attacks on Iran and its allies: Cessation of all US and Israeli strikes against Iran itself, as well as its regional proxy forces and allies (explicitly including Hezbollah in Lebanon, and potentially other groups in Iraq, Yemen, etc.).
- Security guarantees: Objective, binding assurances (e.g., via a UN Security Council resolution) to prevent future aggression or recurrence of war.
- War reparations/compensation: Payment for material and moral damages caused by the conflict.
- Nuclear aspects: Acceptance of Iran’s uranium enrichment program (included in the Farsi version of the plan).
- Broader regional peace: Ending the war on all fronts across the region.
You can see that Iran’s demands were not serious. They were the demands from a country that actually won, and Iran certainly did not win. If they actually were serious, then they are so delusional that the talks weren’t going to succeed anyway. This is why Vice President Vance and his team left. There was no point.
Now the other shoe has dropped. President Trump is blockading the Strait of Hormuz Falafal, stopping any ship from going to or coming from Iran. Ships heading to other gulf states are passing through without issues. At the moment, we aren’t shooting at Iran. President Trump has moved to crushing their economy. Now the ball is in Iran’s court. Will they pick it up or double down on stupid?
