Why did US-Iran talks break down? Some random thoughts. [View all]

Why did US – Iran talks break down? Here are some possibilities.

Maybe sending Larry, Moe, and Curly as our negotiating team was not such a good idea.

Maybe it wasn’t so smart for JD Vance (not is real name) to stand on the tarmac in Hungary before flying to Pakistan and call the Iranians “STUPID.”

Or – remember back last week when the ceasefire was announced and Iran announced they were thinking about charging $2 million per ship to transit the Strait and Trump popped up and proposed that we split the $2 million? Maybe that did not go over well in Tehran.

Oh, well – elect a clown, get a circus.

Other input is welcome.
