❗️U.S. Vice President JD Vance has said that no deal was made during the 21+ hours of negotiations...

...saying “we could just not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms.”

He restated that the Iranians were unwilling to shift left or right on key U.S. demands, including their nuclear program.

Iran Foreign ministry spokesperson @IRIMFA_SPOX issued the following :

Diplomacy, for us, is a continuation of the sacred struggle of those who defend the land of Iran. We have not forgotten—and will not forget—the experience of U.S. breaches of trust and ill intent. Just as we will not forgive the heinous crimes committed by them and the Zionist regime during the second and third imposed wars.

Today was a long and demanding day for the delegation of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Islamabad. Intensive negotiations, which began on Saturday morning with Pakistan’s good offices and mediation, have continued uninterrupted until now, with numerous messages and draft texts exchanged between the two sides. Iranian negotiators are employing all their capabilities, experience, and knowledge to safeguard Iran’s rights and interests. The heavy loss of our leaders, loved ones, and compatriots has only strengthened our resolve to pursue the interests and rights of the Iranian people.

Nothing can or should deter us from fulfilling our great historic mission toward our beloved homeland and the noble Iranian civilization. The Islamic Republic of Iran is determined to use all tools, including diplomacy, to secure national interests and protect the country’s welfare.

Over the past 24 hours, discussions have covered various dimensions of the core issues under negotiation, including the Strait of Hormuz, the nuclear file, war reparations, sanctions relief, and a complete end to the war against Iran and in the region.

The success of this diplomatic process depends on the seriousness and good faith of the other side, refraining from excessive demands and unlawful conditions, and recognizing Iran’s legitimate rights and interests.

We express our appreciation to the government and the warm and honorable people of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan for hosting the talks and for their good offices in advancing this process.

❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇵🇰 NEW: J.D. Vance leaves Islamabad

IRIB: ‘The American enemy, which is vile, wicked and dishonest — attempted to achieve on the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war.

Among these demands are handing over enriched uranium and opening the Strait of Hormuz without confirmed Iranian sovereignty over it.

Iran has decided to reject these terms and continue the sacred defense of its fatherland by any means necessary, military or diplomatic.

❗️🇺🇸/🇵🇰/🇮🇷 NEW: According to another informed source, one of the issues was America’s unwillingness to compel Israel to an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon

The U.S. merely convinced Israel to stop strikes in Beirut while ‘gradually expanding’ to include southern Lebanon and the rest of the country. Iran did not agree to this.

He'll affect some Iranian ships leaving but will harm the Gulf Arabs and the energy market way more

Eventually Yemen will use its most important card and start attacking Saudi shops or Saudi Oil buyers from the Red Sea

Trump will only harm himself and the world more because at the end of the day, what more can you harm Iran?

❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 BREAKING: President Trump announces a naval blockade on Iran ‘effective immediately’

Trump has also ordered the U.S. Navy to seize any civilian vessels in international waters that have paid tolls to Iran.

In Lebanon still the same, Israeli attack and massacres continue

The Israeli army advanced to Bint Jbeil hospital area and has deepened its access to the town.

Found out today its even smaller than Aitaroun.

The Israeli army murdered several Hezbullah hereos, in the now fully besieged town.

From the massacre in Maaroub, where only women and children were killed.

A full neighborhood was attacked. This is how Israel attacks towns.

The martyrs are all still under rubble

📢 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Trump: "We didn't get there on the important issue. They want to have nuclear weapons. They're not going to have nuclear weapons."

Analysis on the channel has been very few lately due to personal stressing matters and no time, but the nuclear case here is Iranians giving Trump a carrot and a stick

Be very stringy and not willing to compromise on a topic you can easily compromise on like in 2015 and make it the center piece for Trump's full focus

Then make it sound like a tremendous breakthrough by giving him what he obsessed over and everything you wanted actually to be achieved

The Hormoz will eventually open and the enriched material can be shipped to Russia. Very easy and so, let him obsses

Lifting sanctions on Iranian oil and stop selling discounted oil to China will give Iran 2-3x more profit and revenue than a toll of 1$ per barrel for any ship passing by.
