After marathon negotiations between the U.S. and Iran failed this weekend, President Trump ordered the Navy to blockade Iranian ports starting this morning.
Wired and live host Cabot Phillips is here with the latest. So Cabot, we're going to talk about the blockade. But first, how did the negotiations go this past weekend?
Yeah, on Saturday, Vice President Vance arrived in Pakistan for face-to-face talks with Iran, flanked by special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Chief negotiator for the Iranians was Mohammad Bagar Ghalibaf, the country's Speaker of Parliament, whom some in Washington reportedly view as the most palatable option possible. among Iran's current crop of leaders.
Now, just at the outset, these talks were, on their face, historic. This was the highest level meeting between the U.S. and Iranian regime since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. But ultimately, after 21 hours of talks, Vice President Vance emerged just before dawn with the news that a deal had not been reached.
We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on, and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on. And they have chosen not to accept our terms.
And what exactly are the red lines there?
Well, we're hoping to get more details from the White House in the coming hours on that front. But on Sunday, administration officials did tell The Daily Wire that their red lines are as follows. Freezing uranium enrichment in Iran, removing all existing enriched uranium from the country, dismantling uranium enrichment facilities.

Chapter 3: What were the outcomes of the recent U.S.-Iran peace negotiations?
Joining us now to discuss is Owen O'Malley, Associate Professor of Political Science at Dublin City University. First of all, thank you so much for joining us. So we've been monitoring this escalation of protests across the pond. Clearly, there's a lot of simmering, you know, frustration and what appears to be, I would say, a convergence of political angst here.
First, what is the current situation with the protests in Ireland?
So there had been a week-long protest which had shut down a lot of public transports and also road traffic. And so a lot of the motorways around the country, the freeways around the country, were just literally shut down. And the main wing road around Dublin was shut, which caused havoc.
The government met in order to try and offer a package to alleviate the fears and concerns of those protesters. And that largely seems to have worked. Partly it's worked in that it's offered those co-testers something, but also the government, the state physically moved to remove vehicles that were blocking freeways.
Now, we initially reported at the end of last week that the government refused to meet with the protesters because they weren't organizations the government officially recognized. Has that inflamed tensions?
Yeah, so the government didn't actually meet with these protesters, and it probably escalated tensions a little bit more. It then escalated tensions more when it said it was going to bring the military in to kind of clear these roads. That was probably backfired as well by increasing tensions.
Now, you see the phrase climate tyranny a lot associated with these protests. Can you speak to us, how central is climate policy to what we're seeing, this unrest?
I think it's a major part of it. So a lot of the climate policies have been delivered by the European Union, taken up with alacrity by Irish governments. And in the last government, the Green Party was a member of the government. And so it insisted that there was increases in carbon taxes. These were never popular in rural Ireland. Rural Ireland is more dependent on private transport.
It also tends to have different types of home heating. So it uses the home heating oil. The home heating oil has gone up by 67% in one mug, partly as a result of the war in Iran, but also there was going to be a new carbon tax hike coming in on the 1st of May. So the government should have been aware that this was a problem.
