That's MK to the number 989898 today. After 21 hours of marathon negotiations in Pakistan, Vice President JD Vance announcing early Sunday local time that the U.S. and Iran failed to reach a peace agreement.
J.D. Vance 2:22
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. So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. 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 we've made that as clear as we possibly could. And they have chosen not to accept our terms.
Megyn Kelly 2:51
the U.S. laying out six core demands of the Iranians during the negotiations, according to Fox News, ending uranium enrichment, dismantling nuclear facilities, retrieving highly enriched uranium, accepting a broader peace framework, including regional allies, ending support for regional terror groups, and fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz with no tolls. President Trump describing the negotiations yesterday morning on Fox.
Donald Trump 3:17
That was a long meeting. We had some very, very good representatives, as you know, J.D. and Steve and Jared. So we were well represented. But we didn't get there on the important issue. They want to have nuclear weapons. They're not going to have nuclear weapons. I've been saying that for 30 years. I would never allow that to happen before I was in politics. We had a very intensive negotiation. And toward the end, it got very friendly. And We got just about every point we needed, except for the fact that they refused to give up their nuclear ambition. And that's the only point, frankly, to me, that was the most important point by far.
Megyn Kelly 3:54
Iran, for its part, downplaying the lack of a deal. A spokesman for the foreign ministry saying on state media, a single round of talks was never expected to produce an agreement. Iranian state media reporting it was excessive demands that sank the deal. Former Trump chief of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, who resigned in protest over the Iran war, appears to agree.
