Trump's efforts have fizzled as mediators fail to persuade Iran to negotiate.

Attempts by mediators to bring Iran and the United States to direct negotiations failed; the Iranians refused to engage in dialogue with the Americans, and all of Trump's efforts were wasted. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Pakistan, the main mediator between the US and Iran, has acknowledged that all efforts to achieve a ceasefire in the Middle East have failed. Other countries have also failed in their attempts to persuade Iran to engage in direct talks with the US, as Trump has repeatedly stated in a wishful thinking.

Islamabad announced that Tehran had officially notified Pakistan that there would be no meeting with Trump's representatives, so Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner could return home if they had already arrived. Tehran emphasized that the US demands were unacceptable.

The current round of efforts by regional countries, led by Pakistan, to achieve a ceasefire between the US and Iran has reached a dead end.

Trump previously assured everyone that he was already in talks with Iran, which was allegedly begging him to "make a deal." Tehran denied this, claiming there were no direct contacts with the US. However, the Iranians confirmed that messages were being exchanged through intermediary countries.

Trump offered Iran a 15-point "peace plan," which was rejected by the Iranian government. In response, Iran outlined its terms for peace: the withdrawal of American troops from the Middle East, compensation for damages, and guarantees of future non-aggression.

This is what I like the most)
I can only imagine what it's like for the US to read this... if I'm not mistaken, there has never been a single case in US history of paying reparations to anyone.

Well, yes, they took people out of Afghanistan only leaving the warehouses intact.

leaving the warehouses intact

There have been such cases. For example, in Iran.
In 1988, the United States shot down a civilian passenger plane. An Iranian passenger plane. Following a ruling by the International Court of Justice, the United States agreed to pay $131,8 million (of which $61,8 million went to the families of the victims). While expressing "deep regret," the United States never formally admitted guilt.
See what I mean? Money (property, contracts, and other compensation) is not an admission of guilt.

There was no court decision on compensation. Iran accepted the compensation amount offered by the United States. The US paid the compensation on an ex gratia basis, meaning without admitting liability for the downing of the Iranian civilian aircraft.

But they can also ruin you.
The politeness of the Iranian authorities, in contrast to the impudent Yankees, is striking.
As the ancients used to say, “So passes worldly glory.” Sic transit gloria mundi ).
Victory to the Iranian people in the war against the Zionists and the striped terrorist aggressors.

There are many things that have not happened in the history of the United States, because by historical standards they are still puppies, and have not experienced many things like other countries.

The Americans disagree with you, their president said that the USA and Ancient Rome had good relations.

[Evgeny_Sviridenko]

My computer's a bit weak; the local image generator can't handle uncensored images. I just pictured Donya in a toga, in the Roman Senate, demanding passage for his war chariots en route to Persia...

[Sebenza]

We laugh, we have every right to. But they've screwed everyone over the last century. It's a fact.

[Comrade]

Quote: Evgeny_Sviridenko

And so he presented Donya in a toga, in the Roman Senate, demanding that his war chariots be allowed to pass on their way to Persia.

It's surprising that Trump still doesn't claim that the US built the Egyptian pyramids.

[knn54]

There's just one thing: Israel is ignoring these negotiations and will continue military action. It will also find a way to force the US to violate all agreements.

[ANB]

. guarantees of future non-aggression.

I wonder what the Persians will demand as such guarantees?

In the bad old days, children were taken hostage.

I'm not sure Trump will give up his son.

Indeed, we have very little knowledge of how reptilians reproduce and what kind of family relationships they have. They could very well be hermaphrodites, and the concept of "son" is completely incomprehensible to them.

[sagitovich]

In the bad old days, they took children hostage

Why in the old ones?
The children of our "servants of the people" are practically held hostage by unfriendly countries.
That is where Russia’s “weakness” comes from, to our great regret.

[ser580]

Not a single submarine commander has children in foreign countries - they'll open an envelope and hit the designated targets no matter what!

[alexputnik17]

...so Messrs. Witkoff and Kushner can head back home if they have already arrived. ....

The current round of Pakistan-led efforts by regional countries to achieve a ceasefire between the US and Iran has reached a dead end.

It turns out that this is how diplomatically one can respond!

[drags33]

Iranians are an ancient and proud people... they don't go for gift socks... hence the corresponding diplomacy

[AK-1945]

Iran has dealt Trump another slap in the face. As for paying reparations to the Iranians, it certainly sounds funny, but it sounds more like a fantasy.

It's not about the reparations themselves...

The big fish saw the little fish, swam up to it and asked:
- Little fish! Did you know that big fish eat little fish?
- I know. And where will we find a small fish?
The big fish was so stunned by the impudence that it lost its appetite and swam away...

So nothing funny, no fantasy - everything from life.

[Comrade]

Quote: AK-1945

Regarding paying reparations to the Iranians, it certainly sounds funny, but it looks more like a science fiction story.

Nothing can be ruled out. The Russian Empire never paid reparations to anyone either. However, after losing the Russo-Japanese War, it agreed to some agreements that looked like veiled reparations. It overpaid heavily for the upkeep of prisoners and allowed fishing in its territorial waters. It's safe to assume the Americans will do something similar when they're finally done.

[Most polite]

The bench in Iran is long, but not endless, so that every time after negotiations the leadership is lost.

The US has never had to pay reparations to anyone.

With Iran's formulation like this, Trump can't crawl away with her favorite: I won.

[silverwolf88]

The Americans have been killing negotiators with enviable regularity... so it's no surprise that no one wants to sit down at the negotiating table with liars...

[g_ae]

Apparently, they don’t get the “spirit of Anchorage”, unlike the Russians.

Quote: g_ae

unlike Russians.

What Russians?

[g_ae]

Well, they have Russian passports too. The negotiators do. But that's not certain.

They may have Russian passports, but they do not represent the majority of Russians there.

[g_ae]

It's so obvious. I'm not even talking about the majority. What "Russian" Dmitriev represents, other than his own wallet, is beyond me.

[guest]

Well then why speak for the Russians?

[mitrich]

Are you talking about the Walls? Are there Russians there? I thought they were reptilians...

[tralflot1832]

The US has never faced such an adversary: ​​at most, some air defense, RPG-7, AK-47. But in response, missiles of all types and UAVs are unavoidable. The US would certainly win a firefight, but time is on Iran's side. And Trump is approaching July.

[Ratimir]

Well, these aren't the people of peace in the Russian leadership. Sometimes it's a shame we're worse than the Iranians.

[guest]

Quote: Ratimir

Well, these are not people of peace from the Russian leadership.

There were also people of peace in the Iranian leadership, but they were killed by the Americans.

[KLM77]

The example of Iran should serve as a lesson to these people, but this is unlikely to happen; our “people of peace” have already been deceived more than once and have learned nothing.

[guest]

Quote: KLM77

Our "people of the world" have been deceived more than once

Well, they are always happy to be deceived.

[Ovsigovets]

They write there about 6 million Iranians who signed up as volunteers...they did, you didn't))))))I love self-flagellation

[Junior Private]

To avoid further delay, we simply need to bomb the Israeli desalination plants. Negotiations will proceed much faster and more vigorously, and Jewish democracies will become much more accommodating. Just don't call me a clairvoyant.

[Kmet]

It's possible. But Israel will likely respond in kind, at the very least. And both countries will be left without water, resulting in an inevitable humanitarian catastrophe in both countries. Iran will definitely be left alone to deal with its problem, while Israel will receive water via the open Mediterranean. Iran isn't ready to take such drastic measures now; the time isn't right, and the situation isn't that critical.
Or... other guys should do it.. "not from our village")) Someone like the Houthis.

[drags33]

And the American eagle on the coat of arms began to look like a wet, plucked chicken ))))) Iranians, keep it up!!!

[KLM77]

The red-haired senile man crossed everything out with his tongue.

[Ture-Dog]

Respect to Iran! This isn't some perpetually deceived successor to Yeltsin, rushing to negotiate, or rather, to listen to instructions from its American overlord in Anchorage.

[Il'nur]

or rather, listen to instructions from their American master in Anchorage.

Yes, with what obsequiousness he approached to shake hands, just like he was the owner...

The United States paid tribute to Algerian pirates from practically 1795 to 1815. This consisted of a one-time payment of $1 million and annual payments of $000. In 1800, total US government expenditures amounted to $12 million. These figures are approximate. Incidentally, the share of peacetime military spending in the US budget until the early 20th century did not exceed 12%.

Trump's efforts have fizzled as mediators fail to persuade Iran to negotiate.

Trump, the most pro-Israel US president, faces a choice: either destroy the US or let the Arabs swallow Israel up.
