Iran wants sanctions to be lifted and, you know, they just basically want an end to the hostilities.
But they're both coming there and neither side appears to think they have lost.
And so the United States seems to think they have the upper hand on Iran.
Iran seems to think that they have very critical leverage over the United States because of their control of this waterway.
So they're both there kind of not willing to be, you know, out leveraged, I guess.
Right.
I mean, both sides last week had essentially declared victory.
Right.
Another really important thing to set the scene, I think, is that President Trump repeatedly said, we don't really need a deal.
And going in, he's telling reporters, I don't care.
They can make a deal.
They can't.
We've already won.
And he himself was actually in Miami watching, you know, a UFC fight with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
And there's this bizarre split screen where everyone's waiting for the vice president after 20 hours of negotiations in Pakistan.
And we have Marco Rubio and Trump, you know, watching two guys beat each other up in Miami.
Ultimately, he walked out after 21 hours and he said, you know, we weren't able to reach an agreement.
There's no deal.
And so ultimately, the vice president said that the negotiations broke down specifically because Iran would not commit to not pursuing nuclear weapons and, you know, kind of curbing their nuclear ambitions.
But as far as we can tell, it was about more than that.
