Trump:

Whether we make a deal or not makes no difference to me.

Trump:

We will open up the Strait, even though we do not use it, because we have a lot of other countries in the world that do use it that are either afraid, or weak, or cheap.

Trump:

We are in very deep negotiations with Iran. We win regardless.

Trump on China sending weapons to Iran:

If China does that, China is going to have big problems.

Trump: How do you know that?

Reporter: Because it’s still blocked.

After 21 hours of negotiations in Pakistan, JD Vance said the U.S. and Iran failed to reach an agreement.

He said the U.S. made its terms clear, but Iran did not accept them.

Esmaeil Baghaei, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, said there was no expectation of a deal with the United States, citing “an atmosphere of mistrust” after weeks of war.

“We should not have expected an agreement in just one meeting,” he said, adding that while some common ground was found, “on two, three key topics there were significant differences.”

Trump reposts after failed talks with Iran:

The Trump card the president holds if Iran won’t bend: a naval blockade.

Trump attended a UFC event in Florida while talks with Iran collapsed in Pakistan.

JD Vance:

We’ve had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That’s the good news.

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.

JD Vance:

Whatever shortcomings the negotiations had, it wasn’t because of the Pakistanis, who did an amazing job and sincerely tried to help us and the Iranians bridge the gap and reach a deal.

Canadian PM Mark Carney:

The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over.

Iran's Ghalibaf on failed negotiations with the U.S. in Pakistan:

We have the necessary goodwill and determination, but due to the experience of two previous wars, we do not trust the other side.

The other side ultimately failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of negotiations

America has understood our logic and principles. Now it is time for it to decide whether it can earn our trust or not.

We consider ‘power diplomacy’ another method alongside military struggle to secure the rights of the Iranian nation.
