Vance: But we just could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms.
We weren't able to make any headway.
AP: US Vice President JD Vance says talks with Iran ended after 21 hours without reaching agreement
ISLAMABAD (AP) U.S. Vice President JD Vance said negotiations ended early Sunday between the United States and Iran without a peace deal after the Iranians refused to accept American terms to not develop a nuclear weapon.
The high-stakes talks ended after 21 hours, Vance said, with the vice president in constant communication with U.S. President Donald Trump and others in the administration.
But the simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon, Vance told reporters. That is the core goal of the president of the United States. And thats what weve tried to achieve through these negotiations.
The vice president said he spoke with Trump a half dozen times, a dozen times, over the past 21 hours and also spoke with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Adm. Brad Cooper, head of the United States Central Command.

Vance was probably his usual condescending dickish self and treated the Iranians

Nothing efficient about what they did. It was destruction - plain and simple.

Possibly, but we were losing aircraft at an unsustainable rate and, hopefully, don't want more of that. /nt

Given the way he talked to Zelensky I'm not surprised they told him to FRO.

JD Vance is about as undeserving as Jay Leno with regards to prominent positions.
