JD Vance gives briefing on Iran talks in Pakistan — full remarks

[0:00] Iranians, that's the good news. [0:01] The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement, and I think that's bad news for [0:05] Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America. [0:08] So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. [0:12] We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them [0:16] on and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on. [0:20] And we've made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept [0:25] our terms. [0:26] Questions? [0:28] Well, I won't go into all the details because I don't want to negotiate in public [0:41] after we've negotiated for 21 hours in private. [0:44] But the simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not [0:49] seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly [0:53] achieve a nuclear weapon. [0:55] That is the core goal of the President of the United States, and that's what we've tried [0:58] to achieve through these negotiations. [1:00] Again, their nuclear programs such as it is, the enrichment facilities that they had before, [1:08] they've been destroyed. [1:09] But the simple question is, do we see a fundamental commitment of will for the Iranians not to [1:15] develop a nuclear weapon, not just now, not just two years from now, but for the long term? [1:19] We haven't seen that yet. [1:20] We hope that we will. [1:21] Jen? [1:29] We've talked about all those issues, Jen, and we've talked about a number of issues [1:33] beyond that. [1:34] And so certainly those things came up. [1:35] But again, we just could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our [1:42] terms. [1:43] I think that we were quite flexible. [1:44] We were quite accommodating. [1:45] The President told us, you need to come here in good faith and make your best effort to get [1:50] a deal. [1:51] We did that. [1:52] And unfortunately, we weren't able to make any headway. [1:55] Preston? [1:56] Mr. Vice President, how often did you communicate with President Trump throughout the negotiations? [2:01] There were reports that there were multiple rounds where there were breaks in between negotiations. [2:06] How often did you communicate with the President throughout those rounds? [2:09] And what was he saying as you were going through these negotiations that you said fell short? [2:13] Yeah, obviously, we were talking to the President consistently. [2:16] I don't know how many times we talked to him, a half dozen times, a dozen times over the past [2:20] 21 hours. [2:21] We obviously also talked to Admiral Cooper, to Pete, to Marco, to the entire national security [2:26] team. [2:27] We talked to Scott Besson a number of times. [2:28] So, look, we were constantly in communication with the team because we were negotiating in good [2:33] faith. [2:34] And we leave here, and we leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding [2:41] that is our final and best offer. [2:44] We'll see if the Iranians accept it. [2:45] Thank you. [2:46] Are we going back to Hormuz? [2:48] Are we going back to Hormuz, sir? [2:49] Are we going back to Hormuz, sir? [2:50] Are we going back to Hormuz, sir?
