Switzerland Negotiations Not Going Well; Iranian PM Mocks Trump

Well that didn’t work out too well. You can’t negotiate with terrorists and that includes Qatar and Paksitan.
Telegraph: Iranian negotiators walked out of peace talks with the US after Donald Trump said he would “blow the s— out of them” and take over their country. As JD Vance, his vice president, began negotiations in Switzerland, Mr Trump threatened to restart his bombing campaign on Iran, in expletive-laden phone calls and posts on social media. Iran immediately lodged a formal complaint with Pakistani and Qatari mediators and left the talks. Chief negotiator Mohammed Ghalibaf said the US should be careful with its statements and that “our armed forces are ready to respond.” Earlier, Mr Vance said the US hoped to “turn over a new leaf” with the Islamic Republic, and said that they had made “great progress”, but on Sunday night, his efforts appeared to be quickly unravelling. (Telegraph.)
Washington Times: Sen. Lindsey Graham predicted Sunday that diplomatic talks with Iran over its nuclear program and keeping open the Strait of Hormuz will “fail,” but he noted that negotiations are the better path than taking talks off the table. “Let’s try a diplomatic solution,” the South Carolina Republican said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.” “I think it’s going to fail. What happens next?” Mr. Graham, a staunch Trump ally who said he spent 4½ hours with the president on Friday, described what he thinks will happen if talks ultimately fail. “If this deal fails, President Trump is going to take the Strait of Hormuz over by force,” he said. “The United States will control the Strait of Hormuz, we’ll charge a fee for all those who go through to pay for the operation and we’re going to expand the Abraham Accords in calendar year 2026.” “If Iran contests control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States, we will obliterate them,” he said. “So to all of the people listening, if this diplomatic effort fails, President Trump is going to take the Strait of Hormuz. We’re going to run it,” Mr. Graham said. “We’re going to try to get Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, end the Arab-Israeli conflict in 2026. And if Iran continues to attack Israel and Lebanon, the new policy will be, we’ll hit Iran.” (Washington Times.)
The moment Iran walked out. JD huddles up quickly with Pakistan. These discussions are over.
IMHO, as a military pilot who spent decades flying in this region AND the Football guy, the “Peace Agreement” is over.
Standby for kinetic activity. It’s long overdue.… https://t.co/igdU4uWiMd

On Saturday, Iran announced a closure of the Strait of Hormuz again, but at first it appeared that they were bluffing as ships continued to transit. However, traffic began to slow, with only Iranian-allied ships making it through. New York Times: Uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz remained on Sunday, a day after the U.S. and Iranian militaries offered conflicting accounts over whether the waterway was open to ships. Maritime analysts observed a drop in the number of vessels passing through the strait on Sunday, according to the extremely limited data available, but the cause was not known. The crucial waterway for oil and gas shipping has emerged as one of the most contentious issues in U.S.-Iran talks aimed at eventually ending the war. President Trump told a Fox News reporter on Sunday that he had spoken with unidentified Iranian officials overnight and warned them not to close the Strait of Hormuz. “You close it and you won’t have a country,” Fox News quoted the president as telling the officials, as Vice President JD Vance led an American delegation in meetings with Iranian officials in Switzerland for a new round of talks. Iran’s military said on Saturday that it was closing the waterway, which had been the conduit for a fifth of the world’s oil supply before the war began in late February. The military accused the United States of breaching the preliminary cease-fire deal signed last week, by failing to restrain Israel’s military actions against Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group, in Lebanon. (New York Times.)
Iranian PM Ghalibaf: Do they not realize that if their threats had been effective, they would not have reached today’s state of desperation? We do not take the Americans’ threats seriously. They would do better to be careful about their statements. Our armed forces are prepared to respond in a different manner. The more they talk, the more it is we who act. (Ghalibaf on X.)
