Even though Donald Trump himself was not present in the peace talks held in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad (US Iran Peace Talks in Pakistan), he was in constant touch with the team leading the talks. The delegation, led by Vice President JD Vance, spoke to Trump a dozen times during several rounds of talks with Iran. However, the talks still did not succeed.
How many times did you talk to Trump in the last 21 hours?
JD Vance told during a media briefing this morning that the peace talks brokered by Pakistan on Saturday lasted for 21 hours, but there was no result. When asked how many times he contacted the President during the talks, Vance said, “We were constantly talking to the President. I don’t know how many times we talked to him. About six-twelve times in the last 21 hours.”
Vance said the delegation also spoke with Admiral Brad Cooper, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the entire national security team. He told that we talked to Scott Besant (Finance Secretary) several times. Elaborating on the talks, Vance said, “We were in constant contact with the team as we were negotiating in good faith and we are leaving here with a very simple proposal, a mutually agreed upon approach, which is our final and best proposal.”
Why did US-Iran talks fail?
After 21 hours of private talks, Vance declined to give details or speak publicly, but he did say that the main dispute was over nuclear weapons. He said, “The simple thing is that we need a clear commitment from Iran that they will not make nuclear weapons nor will they acquire equipment with which they can quickly make nuclear weapons.”
He further said that this is the main objective of the President and this is what he tried to achieve through talks. The US Vice President clarified that America wanted a strong will from Iran not to develop nuclear weapons for a long time, but we could not get this assurance.
