#️⃣ 🇺🇸🇮🇷 At the request of Pakistan, Iran and the U.S. have both agreed to extend the negotiations with one extra day.

Tasnim news says U.S. demands are still ‘unreasonable’.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 JD Vance:

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.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 JD Vance:

Whatever shortcomings the negotiations had, it wasn’t because of the Pakistanis, who did an amazing job and sincerely tried to help us and the Iranians bridge the gap and reach a deal.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Reporter: Precisely, what have they rejected here?

JD Vance: We need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Ghalibaf on failed negotiations with the U.S. in Pakistan:

We have the necessary goodwill and determination, but due to the experience of two previous wars, we do not trust the other side.

The other side ultimately failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of negotiations

America has understood our logic and principles. Now it is time for it to decide whether it can earn our trust or not.

We consider ‘power diplomacy’ another method alongside military struggle to secure the rights of the Iranian nation.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump on Iran:

We're going to be blockading [the Strait of Hormuz]. It'll take a little while, but it'll be effective pretty soon.

They wanna have nuclear weapons. They're not gonna have nuclear weapons. I've been saying that for thirty years. I would never allow that to happen before I was in politics, and that country will not have nuclear weapons.

Most countries shouldn't be allowed to have, but that country will not have nuclear weapons.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump on Iran:
They came in like they have the cards but they don't have the cards.

The whole place is obliterated. The whole place is gone.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump:

We're very disappointed with NATO. We're very, very disappointed that they didn't come.

Now they want to come, and they want to help with the Strait of Hormuz, and it won't take long to clean it out.

We're going to clean out the strait, and they'll be able to use the strait in not too long a distance.

💬 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump on Iran:

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.

That is the most important point by far.
