The US has achieved its objectives in Iran, Vice President J.D. Vance has claimed, adding Washington could begin winding down its military operation against the Islamic Republic.
In a Fox News interview on Monday, after US negotiators left talks in Pakistan without securing an agreement to end the conflict, Vance said Washington had made “a lot of progress” in the negotiations, adding that “the ball is in Iran’s court” on whether to move forward.
“I do think that we’re in a place where we’ve accomplished our objectives. We can start to wind this thing down. I’d much rather wind this thing down with a big successful negotiation,” he said.
According to Vance the talks at the weekend in Islamabad “did make some progress,” particularly on US demands for the removal of nuclear material from Iran and measures to prevent future uranium enrichment. “They moved in our direction,” he claimed.
He suggested that Iranian negotiators were “unable to cut a deal” without sign-off from other authorities and returned to Tehran to seek approval for US terms.
“Whether we have further conversations, whether we ultimately get to a deal, I really think the ball is in the Iranian court,” Vance said.
He added that if US “red lines” on Iran’s nuclear program are met, “then this can be a very, very good deal for both countries.”
The comments came hours after the US began blocking ships at Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, a move President Donald Trump said was meant to force Tehran back to talks and reopen the vital oil artery, the disruption of which has sent energy prices skyrocketing.
Meanwhile, Tehran has signaled doubt, insisting that Washington should accept its terms or face a stalemate, Ebrahim Azizi, the head of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, told RT on Sunday. He added that the US needs a deal “more than we do,” and that many Iranians are unhappy that Tehran even entered into negotiations.
“When they need it, they should accept both the conditions and the prerequisites. If they don’t, we’ll do our work and go our own way. Nothing will change,” he insisted.
Tehran remains deeply skeptical of Washington’s intentions, even after ceasefire-related preconditions were discussed, Azizi said. “We simply do not trust them,” he added, questioning whether a country that “elevates arrogance and colonialism to a guiding principle” can be relied on to honor its commitments.

The Most Revolutionary Act 
According to Vance, “he suggested that Iranian negotiators were “unable to cut a deal” without sign-off from other authorities and returned to Tehran to seek approval for US terms.” The Iranians refuse to agree to any “deal” that the zionist entity told the JooSA to insult them with and they decided to depart the little zio circus rather than waste any more time discussing the bad faith crap from the zionist entity! Vance is just another liar, like Trump and Robio.

The Iranian delegation claims Vance spent most of the time on his phone – mainly to Netanyahu.

“Azizi said. “We simply do not trust them,” he added, questioning whether a country that “elevates arrogance and colonialism to a guiding principle” can be relied on to honor its commitments.”
The Iranians are right to “not trust” the Trump regime, or ANY regime, for that matter when it comes to the U.S. Just ask the Indians if the treaties were “honored.” Ask the Venezuelans where their president is. Ask the people of Greenland how they feel about the Trump regime. Ask the Cuban government how they feel about being threatened by the Trump regime? Need I continue, because I could, but I think I’ve made my point. Not to mention the fact that this country, the U.S. is not only morally bankrupt, but bankrupt as a country.
The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it
https://fortune.com/2026/03/23/us-government-insolvent-fiscal-crisis-fix/
“The U.S. government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole — it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025.”
So, what are we even doing starting wars, and we’re damn well broke, broke??!! It’s like I’ve got $6.00, but I owe my creditors, $4,700, but I can’t borrow from anyone because I started some shit with everyone who used to allow me to “borrow” money from them. Are we “GREAT” yet??!!!!

Your analysis is spot on, Shelby. What a pity you never started doing podcasts. I seem to recall you were talking about it before you and your cousin became homeless.

Dr. Bramhall, you know how I am. I would be banned from any podcast platform within days. Youtube just banned Explosive Media, which put out the Iran Lego videos that I posted. Dissent and truth are banned these days.
