Trump: "We're 99% of the way to a deal where we get everything we want." Iran: "We won't even talk to you."

You’re falling for Iran propaganda, good one.

AcidaliaPlanitia Apr 21, 2026 +18
Lmao what? The first one is pretty much a direct quote from Trump, and we know for a fact they're miles apart on key points. F*** Iran and all, but Trump is blatantly lying to the entire world.

leyland1989 Apr 21, 2026 +11
You gotta admit the PR and propaganda machine behind Trump has been extremely effective and successful... As a non-american, the most fascinating part about all these is not how stupid Trump is, it's how the people who support him keep interpreting his demented mumbles as something of genius or intelligence. Calling out naysayers as brainwashed/woke while they are falling for Trump's propaganda without even realising it.

Shouldn’t Rubio be doing this shit?

oneofthehumans Apr 21, 2026 +20
I would think so. It sure as hell shouldn’t be Kushner, I know that. Why would Iran want to talk to the presidents idiot son in law
20
urania3 Apr 21, 2026 +12
You would think so. But Iran doesn't want to deal with Rubio, he's too much of a hawk. My understanding is Iran requested Vance specifically, as he is the only real dove about oversea military operations.

At least this way they get bombed without having listen to JD Vance ask why they didn't say thank you.

By being bombed, there’s at least a slim chance of not dying. But meeting with JD Vance….

They will get threatened regardless of a deal. This guy blows with the wind. Everything he touches makes us worse off.

Skeeter_206 Apr 21, 2026
They always knew they did, they wanted to work towards a peace deal because they respect Pakistan and China and that's what those countries preferred. However Trump decided he would institute a full blockade on their ports during peace talks, which is a blatant act of aggression, so I'm not sure how anyone expects the ceasefire to continue.

tophergraphy Apr 21, 2026 +2
Wonder if they're intentionally dicking around here - they know Trump is going to claim victory, and then backtrack, and rinse and repeat... eventually even fox news watchers will be confused why this thing is still going on months later.

I mean they got bombed twice while talking, what's going to happen the third time? Not get bombed?

Sure man, but unfortunately he’s the vice president. And the vice president’s one and only duty is to be the speaker of the senate. Jimbo, is lucky they let him leave the house.

Ohioan here, No thanks. We already have the corrupt used car salesman and former Lieutenant Governor who was part of the largest corruption scandal in State history. We sure as Hell don't want the couch f***** back.

sleeplessinreno Apr 21, 2026
Trumpty dumpty, can send him on as many field trips he wants. However, based on the US’s own laws, Iran, or any other nation, is under no obligation to recognize him as a vassal of the state. So, unless grandpa or baby Marco wanna show up to the table and be serious; nothing is going to get done.

If only the United States and Iran had telephones or videophones or any other technology to make direct (or indirect) communications possible without meeting in Pakistan. Such a shame.

Is it really a diplomatic talk if you don't fear at least a little that your enemies will try to poison you during the meeting?

The IRGC have the real power and are running the show in Iran.

Easik Apr 21, 2026 +13
If he isn't headed there already, then there probably isn't anymore talks happening. Iran says it will resume attacks if the blockade is still in effect at the end of the ceasefire. The US also claims it's "locked and loaded", so I guess more attacks are coming in the next 24 hours.
13
CutTheCrapDotCom Apr 21, 2026 +4
Why would the Iranians engage in peace talks? They didn't start this war and clearly have the upper hand.

Is anyone really surprised that the Bone Spurs administration is having trouble gaining or grokking basic "consent"?

Now we know who has the cards and who desperately wants a deal
5
Boys4Ever Apr 21, 2026 +18
Seems perhaps Iran wanting to hurt us financially and politically have figured out getting bombed and keeping the strait closed works. Longer this last the more pain we incur and that can’t be good come midterms. Only card left is to beg them to end what we started. The irony.
18
Aliensinmypants Apr 21, 2026 +11
I mean the terms of the past ceasefires and agreements haven't been kept. We are basically asking them to give in to what we want while offering nothing in return... It doesn't take a genius strategist to figure that out, it's just horrible for the regular folks involved
11
Boys4Ever Apr 21, 2026 +1
Bombing them to take advantage of a gathering while still under negotiations does leave a bad taste and why I was surprised when this ceasefire was signed yet not surprised when Israel kept dropping bombs in Lebanon. How does anyone trust each other after that. He can lie and declare victory. Technically has. Time to pull up anchor and get our kids back. Not like his will ever see action.

Kendertas Apr 21, 2026 +10
What do mean? Are you saying that there are consequences to suprise bombing them the last two times they where negotiating with the US? Or unilaterally pulling out of the last deal Iran spent two years negotiating, and was complying with?

troncalonca Apr 21, 2026 +6
Attacked an iranian ship during the truce?
6
fec2245 Apr 21, 2026 -5
Iran attacked ships as well…
-5
Aliensinmypants Apr 21, 2026 +8
Because the US didn't lift their blockade when Iran agreed to open the Strait. The US is trying to create so much chaos that they make Iran look bad again, when it's them and Israel that's f****** the agreements up 
8
fec2245 Apr 21, 2026 +2
I would think attacking an Indian tanker going between from Iraq and India would be considered sowing chaos. Maybe if Iran doesn’t want to look bad they shouldn’t have done it
2
Aliensinmypants Apr 21, 2026 +5
Because they got tricked into allowing traffic through the strait under false pretenses... The US should hold up their end of the bargain if they want to be taken seriously
5
fec2245 Apr 21, 2026
They didn’t get tricked, what are you talking about? The US didn’t announce ending the blockade. Iran’s FM announced the strait was open and got immediate pushback from IRGC aligned sources.
0
Aliensinmypants Apr 21, 2026 +6
What are you talking about? Why would Iran agree to open the strait if the whole world can use it except for them??

fec2245 Apr 21, 2026 +2
I’m describing what happened, you can speculate what the FM’s strategy was. Or maybe DM him
2
Aliensinmypants Apr 21, 2026 +4
Sure I totally believe you were in the room or got briefed. Iran closed the strait again immediately after the US announced their blockade would remain in place after the deal. Implying that terms were not kept

rabidstoat Apr 21, 2026 -2
They haven't fostered trust either.
-2
Dry_Werewolf_1597 Apr 21, 2026 +3
The US called it diplomacy. Iran called it a trap. Then we proved them right
3
fec2245 Apr 21, 2026 -3
So should the US refuse to participate in peace talks?
-3
rabidstoat Apr 21, 2026 -1
No. Merely pointing out that if attacking during a ceasefire doesn't foster trust for Iran, neither does it foster trust when the US does it.
-1
fec2245 Apr 21, 2026 +2
So you think it'd be justified if Trump refused to negotiate because the IRGC shot at the Indian tankers? Almost all wars end in negotiations, they're usually not high trust environments.
2
rabidstoat Apr 22, 2026 +1
Nope. I think they should negotiate, the trick is finding something that they can both tout as a win. But settling the conflict in negotiation would be better than with bombs.

Iran currently holds the strait of Hormuz. It didn’t before now it does. Also … this war is on because Trump wanted a bargaining chip against China for this visit? That is the worst geo political strategy ever. Ai chips, Taiwan, Japan, the indo-pacific, India as leverage are all leveraged trump could use….. but here we are
