    They sent Vance? Where they hoping that his presence would result in the untimely demise of the Iranian negoators or where they just wanting to ensure that the negotiations would go nowhere?

    Either way, I hope that they burned any sofas wherever he stayed. Skip the blacklight test, just send them strait to the incinerator.

        Seems like every appearance Vance is involved in ends badly for anyone else there. He has a real mierdas touch.

      Long long term - probably. If the straight stays closed, US and Russia hold all the cards in terms of resource.

    I’m starting to think this whole setup was just a move by Pakistan to get KSA to pay off their loans in exchange for PAF’s pilots and fighters lol: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/11/pakistan-sends-fighter-jets-to-saudi-arabia-amid-fragile-us-iran-ceasefire

    Iran and US were already aware of eachother’s demands, I don’t think they had any high hopes for a successful negotiation, especially since the contending point was Israel following through.

    They even made up marketing fanfare for it like this was some kinda special convention and not literally a heated negotiation over an active war: https://www.reddit.com/r/policymarket/comments/1shoo63/the_world_is_watching_and_the_world_is_hopeful/

    Given the aim of the first talk was to agree on “keep talking”, that’s not a great sign of things to come.

    The wolf is always hungry. We have to let go of whatever faith we’ve had on Western imperialists to regret their sins against humanity and “turn their lives around”. It’s hard to understand it because most if not every other society isn’t as sociopathic and bloodthirsty but that’s what it is. I assume the Iranians knew this too but they have to go through the motions before Western media uses their “lack of involvement” as further casus belli. Oh well.
