I was talking to you.
You're talking to me?
What are the implications of the delayed US-Iran talks?

The plan was to make the peace deal permanent, but now the U.S.
How does Israel's military action affect US-Iran negotiations?
and Iran aren't coming.
How does the Obama Presidential Center narrate history?
What happened to the negotiation? I'm Leila Fadl, that's Stephen Skipp, and this is Up First from NPR News. Vice President Vance lashed out at Israel for criticizing the deal with Iran. He says Iran will be paid only if it performs. If they change their behavior, big things are going to happen for Iran and for the world. If they don't, no skin off our backs. Either way, we win.
What future possibilities does the Obama Presidential Center inspire?
How did Vance become the face of this deal?
Also, former President Obama opened his presidential center in Chicago. The museum begins the story not with Obama's election in 2008, but with the Declaration of Independence.

Vice President Vance is delaying his trip to Switzerland to negotiate the terms of a peace agreement with Iran. Bans and a delegation from Iran were scheduled to meet in Lucerne.
The presidents of the U.S. and Iran signed a memorandum this week. It sends benefits to Iran, but is only a first step toward a comprehensive deal.
NPR's Rob Schmitz made it to Lucerne, even though the vice president did not yet. Rob, hi there. Hey there, Steve. It seemed like negotiators were on this accelerated schedule. They signed the preliminary deal early. They were going to dive right in and talk. Why are they now delaying? Yeah, we don't know exactly why, but Israel's continued bombardment of southern Lebanon is not helping. The very first article of this agreement that was signed by President Trump and Iran's president promises to ensure the territorial integrity of Lebanon. Obviously, that is not happening. Just this morning, Lebanon's health ministry said at least 18 people had been killed in overnight strikes. while the Israeli military said four of its soldiers have been killed in southern Lebanon.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that Israeli forces in southern Lebanon intend to stay there. Members of Netanyahu's cabinet have called this deal, quote, bad for Israel. And Vance said this in response yesterday. Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time. And he happens to be the head of state of the world's superpower. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world. Really rare for an American official to publicly dress down Israel like that, which says things we could maybe discuss about politics in America, but also about the pressure on Vance.
