US negotiators leaving without a peace deal with Iran

Here we go again. Should we expect a late night Sunday Truth Social to try to manipulate the markets?

Part text --- ISLAMABAD, April 12 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that his negotiating ​team was leaving Pakistan after not reaching a deal with Iran after 21 hours of negotiations. Vance cited shortcomings in the talks and said Iran ‌had chosen not to accept American terms, including to not build nuclear weapons. "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," Vance said. "So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. We've made very clear what our red lines ​are." Vance said he talked with U.S. President Donald Trump half a dozen times during the talks. ...

Iran: “JD, if you call Donald *right now* and he answers the phone while at UFC — we have a deal.” Vance: 😐

Shocker 🙄

Vance is out faster than the last time he walked into an Ashley's Home Furniture Store.

Mar 3: "We won the war." Mar 7: "We defeated Iran." Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully." Mar 12: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet." Mar 13: "We won the war." Mar 14: "Please help us." Mar 15: "If you don't help us, I will certainly remember it." Mar 16: "Actually, we don't need any help at all." "I was just testing to see who's listening to me." "If NATO doesn't help, they will suffer something very bad." Mar 17: "We neither need nor want NATO's help." "I don't need Congressional approval to withdraw from NATO." Mar 18: "Our allies must cooperate in reopening the Strait of Hormuz." Mar 19: "US allies need to get a grip -step up and help open the Strait of Hormuz" Mar 20: "NATO are cowards." Mar 21: "We don't use it, we don't need to open it." Mar 22: "This is the last time. I will give Iran 48 hours." "Iran is Dead" Mar 23: "We are giving them more time." Mar 24: "The war is nearing its end." Mar 25: "We are still negotiating." Mar 26: "Iran is begging for peace. They gave us a gift. We will give them more time." Mar 27: "Talks with iran are going very well" Mar 28: "War will be over soon" Mar 29: "Maybe we take Kharg island, maybe we dont" Mar 30: "Open the Strait or we will obliterate all energy infrastructure and oil wells" Mar 31: "We dont need the strait, we got plenty of oil. Get it yourself UK." April 1: "Iran wants a ceasefire" / "Strongly considering pulling out of NATO" / "There's no deal with Iran" April 3:"We can take their oil and make a fortune" April 5:"Open the fuckin strait you crazy bastards or youll be living in hell" April 6:"US could charge for strait of hormuz passage" April 7:"A whole civilization will die tonight" April 8:"Iran accepts ceasefire, the strait is opened" *strait closed* April 9:"NATO allies have days to reopen the strait" April 10:"Iran has no cards" April 11:"We're going to open up the strait"

Duh, the US has no leverage. Iran wasn’t closing the Strait of Hormuz before this war and agreed to a nuclear deal years ago with Obama. Iran has only been emboldened by all this and actually invading them with a large force to dig out the regime would be very unpopular in the US.

So, JD Emo, Jared, and the real estate guy. Real Dream Team there.

Did 🍊forget to bring his FIFA Peace Prize? What gives?

“Art of the Deal”

Looks like bombs will start flying soon :/

I did not expect any other outcome. Actually, I thought it might be a worse outcome, like Iran swearing to fight for 1000 years or something.

If Trump is such a great negotiator why doesn’t he go and do the negotiating?

Did jd or whatever he’s calling himself these days day thank you

JD Vance couldn’t negotiate buying a dozen doughnuts, so nothing about this surprises me.

What is going to happen now?

Well, they tried for almost a whole day.

The US sent JD Vance and two real estate agents to negotiate with career diplomats who have been studying/waiting over 40 years for such a negotiation. Who looks more worried? The Iranians are gonna make Trump pay, they have no current incentive to reopen the strait.

did they even try?

I bet they left with a nice Pakistani leather couch though.

The US thinks they are the ones with the leverage. This is the problem.

I can’t think of one single thing that is better for the US as a result of this war. We have increased energy costs, increased our deficit, depleted our armaments, lost the ability to conduct free trade in the Straight, lost the faith and backing of our allies, and stagnated ( at best) financial markets. A complete cluster and no good path to recover from. Trump really should be blaming himself, but he’s trump so he could start by stop listening to Netanyahu, stop listening to Lindsey Graham, firing Pete Hegseth, and relegating J.D. to menial tasks. Someone needs to be on the chopping block, it’s too big of a screw up to sweep under the table.

Someone who can see the future, what happens next??

No surprise here

Meanwhile Donny is in Miami watching ufc

Hmm, that was even faster than I expected. I guess that's what counts as government efficiency these days.

Wow I’m so surprised that the elite diplomatic team of JD “couch humper” Vance and Saudi-bribed Jared Kushner failed.

We gave it the ole 1 day try

They’re not leaving forever, just long enough to make a bunch of money in the oil futures market - BRB! You see kids, you can make money on the good news *and* the bad news - especially if you are the ones making the news.

"We tried nothing and are all out of ideas about how to resolve the conflict we started for no good reason"

So they negotiated for one day?

This is crazy, I’m feeling the same way now as I did when I was 8 when we went to war with Iraq “Wait, why are we doing this? There seems to be a lot better use for our money than this” And yet here we go again. And it’s the Republican’s fault…again. I’ll die happy to see the GOP dismantled and salt the earth they sprung from

So a hillbilly and two real estate developers walk into a bar….

Wouldn’t call any of those guys negotiators.

I think the direction Vance got was not to agree to any deal, as that would show compromise, and Trump just made everything worse. A better weasel solution for Trump is just to continue the ceasefire without an agreement on peace, and now he can both shout about how he won, how allies didn’t help, and how the ayatollah booth is against international law. His base will love how he found a non-compromising solution, and the market will see stability and not crash, and the $2m toll on shipping just adds $1 to a barrel of oil, which will just be priced in.

Be the cure to the problem you caused.

Who in the Kentucky fried f*** wants a peace deal? Big oil oligarchs are making billions at the moment.

They should have sent Kirk Cousins’ agent

“Negotiators” ha ok

Vance better get his fat, b**** ass back to the table and get my gas prices down! What the hell else is he doing?

Sources in the US are reporting ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaahahahahahaha

JD was never going to accomplish anything. Fuckin' guy can't even order donuts.

Vance really fucked the couch on this one

I had a feeling this was going to happen there are 4 things the Islamic Republic of Iran will refuse to negotiate on as follows. * the strait of hormuz must be under the full control of the Islamic Republic of iran. * The Islamic Republic of Iran must be given full reparations from the U.S for accumulated war damages. * An immediate end to attacks from the US and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran and it's proxies (Hezbollah, houthis, etc) as well as a guarantee they won't initiate future attacks against them. * The Islamic Republic of Iran must be allowed to continue their enrichment of uranium for peaceful purposes (powering nuclear power plants, other nuclear activities). Though there is some flexibility in some areas, their demands are still way too maximalist for the U.S to agree with them on. In my personal opinion, I had a feeling these talks were not going to be going anywhere and the american-iran war will continue after the ceasefire expires. There is also the possibility that president trump decides to chicken out (TACO) again and ask for more time; the man can be an unpredictable force of nature at times as seen with the capture of maduro and the bombing of Iranian bunkers. Time will tell

Guys I'm shocked that the regime that actively recruits 12 year olds and refuses to fight wars if not done through their proxie terrorist organization, I am just so shocked

I thought they were going to continue negotiating tomorrow?

Did Vance not read the art of the deal??

Not surprising

What part of MISSION ACCOMPLISHED did Iran not understand???

Colour me surprised!

Why didn't Trump go since hes a self proclaimer master negotiator. Bibi was probably on the phone to his two assets Kushner and Witkoff and told them to refuse a deal .

Then keep talking?

But did you say “thank you”

Sad fact : Islamabad ( city of Islamabad) was once called Gandhara, the marvelous city where buddhism was peacefully spread to all parts of Asia.  No different than what the Taliban did to the Bamyan Buddhas . Destroying Cultural heritage of a place by changing its name is Peaceful religion 101. 

"The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. The good news is I made bank betting against the agreement. See you all next week!"

Vance is inexperienced, unskilled, and ill-informed. He learns about Trump policy through public X posts.

Not surprised at all. Dumbasses sent dropout boys to do a job.

Don't peace negotiations typically take day, weeks, or months? 21 hours and we're out seems to indicate an inserious attitude.

Maybe Trump himself could have gone? The great deal maker and negotiator. Wuss. 

Anyone who thinks the US should have given up anything just to make a deal are either Iranian bots or just basic tankies

Cant wait to read another post from the rapist after this

It sounds like Iran has all the cards
