Vance defends failed Iran talks

In a series of interviews following his return from Pakistan, Vance insisted that the U.S. delegation entered the negotiations with good faith and a clear plan for peace.

He noted that President Trump was in constant communication throughout the 21-hour session, providing guidance and 'urgent' calls to the team.

Vance pushed back against criticism that the administration’s demands were unrealistic, stating that any deal must ensure Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon.

The Vice President warned that the U.S. military remains 'locked and loaded' should the current ceasefire be violated.
