U.S. Negotiators Leaving Without A Peace Deal With Iran

Vice President JD Vance said that his negotiating team was leaving Pakistan after not reaching a deal with Iran after 21 hours of negotiations. Vance cited shortcomings in the talks and said Iran had chosen not to accept American terms, including to not build nuclear weapons. "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," Vance said. "So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. We've made very clear what our red lines are." Vance said he talked with U.S. President Donald Trump half a dozen times during the talks. The talks in Islamabad were the first direct U.S.-Iranian meeting in more than a decade and the highest-level discussions since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The outcome could determine the fate of the fragile two-week ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for about 20% of global energy supplies that Iran has blocked since the war began. The conflict has sent global oil prices soaring and killed thousands of people. In a post on X, Iran's government said that the talks had concluded and technical experts from both sides would exchange documents. "Negotiations will continue despite some remaining differences," the post added, though it did not say when they would restart. Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner met Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi for two hours before a rest, according to a source from mediator Pakistan. The Iranian delegation arrived on Friday dressed in black in mourning for late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and others killed in the war. They carried shoes and bags of some students killed during the U.S. bombing of a school next to a military compound, the Iranian government said. The Pentagon has said the strike is under investigation but Reuters has reported that military investigators believe the U.S. was likely responsible for it. "There were mood swings from the two sides and the temperature went up and down during the meeting," another Pakistani source said in reference to the first round of talks. For the U.S.-Iran talks, Islamabad, a city of more than 2 million people, was locked down with thousands of paramilitary personnel and army troops on the streets. Pakistan's mediating role is a remarkable transformation for a nation that was a diplomatic outcast a year ago. As the talks started, the U.S. military said it was "setting the conditions" to start clearing the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is central to the ceasefire talks. The U.S. military said two of its warships had passed through the strait and conditions were being set to clear mines, while Iran's state media denied any U.S. ships had transited the waterway. Before the talks began, a senior Iranian source told Reuters the U.S. had agreed to release frozen assets in Qatar and other foreign banks. A U.S. official denied agreeing to release the money. As well as the release of assets abroad, Tehran is demanding control of the Strait of Hormuz, payment of war reparations and a ceasefire across the region including in Lebanon, according to Iranian state TV and officials. Tehran also wants to collect transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's stated goals have shifted, but as a minimum he wants free passage for global shipping through the strait and the crippling of Iran's nuclear enrichment program to ensure it cannot produce an atomic bomb. U.S. ally Israel, which joined the February 28 attacks on Iran that launched the war, has also been bombing Tehran-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon and says that conflict is not part of the Iran-U.S. ceasefire. Mutual distrust is high.

GOP Reps Unveil Pro-Illegal Migrant 'Dignity Act'

Iran's So-Called 'Ceasefire'

With Eli Lake, Columnist for The Free Press, and host of the 'Breaking History' podcast.

Will The Iran Ceasefire Hold?

On today’s show, Josh breaks down the ceasefire deal announced earlier this week and where things stand now. He explains how Iran appears to be falling short of its commitments and what that could mean for the prospects of a longer-term peace agreement. Josh is then joined by "Breaking History" podcast host Eli Lake to help make sense of the latest developments in Iran and what they could signal moving forward. Later in the show, Josh reacts to comments from the head of NATO that seem to echo the president’s criticism that NATO allies are not pulling their weight. Josh also discusses the Dignity Act, recently introduced on Capitol Hill, which would grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, and explains why he believes the MAGA base will strongly oppose it.

Facts About Leaders Who Shaped the Nation

As America prepares to mark its 250th birthday, here’s a look at some of the leaders who helped shape the nation’s history. George Washington led the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolution and became the first U.S. president. A little-known fact: he set an early precedent by refusing to seek a third term. Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, also played a major role in designing his home Monticello and founding the University of Virginia. Benjamin Franklin was a diplomat, inventor, and thinker who created bifocals, helped establish the U.S. postal system, and famously experimented with electricity using a kite and key during a thunderstorm. Abraham Lincoln preserved the Union during the Civil War and issued the Emancipation Proclamation. He was also known for his youth as an accomplished wrestler and stood 6-foot-4. Franklin D. Roosevelt led the United States through the Great Depression and World War II, introducing the New Deal and helping establish Social Security, which remains in place today. Martin Luther King Jr. led the civil rights movement, delivering his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech and inspiring landmark legislation advancing civil rights and equality.
