JD Vance says Iran did not accept the US terms for a peace deal, which immediately shows why talks failed;

negotiation is seeking some middle way between opposing positions, but we know the Tangerine Tyrant's idea of a deal is to push for his solution regardless of the other side's interests or needs;

its no surprise that JD Vance has taken the same line: not so much the Iranians 'playing' the US as the US playing the world into thinking they are *actually* interested in 'peace'.

@ChrisMayLA6 yes. You've just said what I've been trying and failing to adequately put into words. This total misunderstanding of what negotiation is. Not forcing your wants on the other party, but getting to a solution you can both live with.
