Vice President JD Vance appeared on Fox News for a discussion of what structural differences exist between the position of Iran and the position of the U.S. and allied nations surrounding Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
JD Vance notes the key point of conflict surrounds Iran’s desire to retain the ability to construct a nuclear weapon and the refusal to give up custody of currently refined nuclear fuel. Vance also noted the negotiators in the Iran delegation did not appear to have the ability to make a deal without going back to talk to other Iranian officials.

The “allied nations” have proven their disloyalty to the US.
The EU is now part of the Muslim califate whether they admit it or not! Europe is not to be trusted to have our back.
I’m sorry there was a typo in my email address.
So Trump said he didn’t need NATO, until he shit the bed. Tell me why they should get involved. The Strait of Hormuz was opened until we partnered with Israel to attack Iran. I’m no fan of NATO, but in this case, they’re justified
PDJT doesn’t “need NATO”. What PDJT is saying is, “NATO, youNEED the oil and we don’t. You want oil, then do the job of securing its safe passage”.
The formerly “allied nations” have proven their disloyalty. The EU is now part of the Muslim caliphate by design whether they are willing to admit it or not.
Also goes with the non existent UN.
Vance left too early. Now, negotiations are back on.
He got sleepy and missed his dot haid
Its becoming much more evident the EUnuchs were nothing but leaches anyway. Their unwillingness and inability to provide any meaningful assistance to the US could not be any clearer. You can absolutely bet on the fact the EUnuchs are playing every card in their losing deck to undermine PDT through every avenue available to them. There are likely several contacts between the EUnuchs and members of the US congress in their attempts to keep their old leaching ways alive
Worse! The EUnuchs are also psychopaths! They meddled in the Hungarian elections and secured the ouster of Viktor Orban. Now, the fences will come down and Hungary will be flooded with plenty of Muslim, military-aged men. Macaroni, VanDerLeyen, Merz, et al, took turns calling Orban’s competitor to congratulate him on beating Orban.
Hungary was charged 1 million Euros, per day, for not allowing Africa to invade them!
VanDerLeyen also froze Hungary’s money.
Disgraceful!
Iran cannot survive without the ability to blackmail. The nuclear threat worked for the last 47 years as an income source. They have no idea how to generate income any other way.
Well, they could. It just takes actual, real work producing real wealth. They need to find their inner Persian again.
MAGA
The mullahs and IRGC thugs are not Persian… Nor are they Iranian…
They hijacked an entire country…..
Explain.
Notice how all the topmost ayatollahs wear black turbans. The color of the turbans has religious significance. A black turban indicates that the wearer can trace their lineage back to the Banu Hashim tribe from ancient Arabia. That is the tribe of the prophet Mohammed.
So the top ayatollahs are indicating they identify as Banu Hashim (arab) rather than Persian. They probably have more Persian blood than Arab blood, but they are claiming the Arab side.
The Islamic Revolution also took the existing Persian flag and removed the Persian symbols of the Shah (golden lion with sword and the sun) and replaced it with a red Islamic symbol (four crescents and a sword,) and put Arabic script in the red and green bands, saying “Allah akbar.” They took a Persian flag and “Arabized” it.
Until Pres Trump Iran has never had to learn another way.
But to trash the world economy….
Realignment.
Wow.
Great post!!
Dealing with Iran is like dealing with the Black Knight.
Iran: Alright, we’ll call it a draw.
Come back here I’ll chew your legs off.
It’s only a flesh wound!
Dealing with Iran is like dealing with Chuck Schumer, Chris Murphy and the rest of the Democratic gang .
They hated America just as much as Iran.
The Democrats have become the party of scum, john Fetterman excepted.
Per Vance’s comments on the election in Hungary…
Woe are the Hungarian people… they just don’t know it yet.
But they will.
See just two who tweeted out their joyous congratulations to the man who will replace him. Von der Leyen and Hillary Clinton (remembering who her BBF Abedin is “married” to)…the former who has immediately announced that the unelected EU hierarchy will now move at speed to push for qualified majority voting. Smaller members will therefore lose any power and influence. That’s you, Hungary.
Orbàn stood firm against the destruction of Hungary through mass invasion by a subhuman culture antithetical to its own. I don’t need to spell out what that means. See Germany, Spain, France et al. The incoming Europhile and obedient servant Magyar no doubt has his orders…
I would love to be as wrong about this as I have ever been about anything. I fear I am not.
Hungarian exuberance today according to the many videos I’ve seen.
In the years ahead?
Something terribly evil this way comes.
Don’t forget Senator Scott, FL, sent a YUGE congrats to the new guy in Hungary. Florida people should remember that come election day
Saw it.
Ignorance does not become him.
Looks like all he has left is his skeleton.
He was a pos as governor that is one of the reasons the Da Meatball has the image of being so good.
Never forget he was caught up in medical fraud.
The Medicaid and Medicare fraud case involving Rick Scott centers on his tenure as chief executive of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation, the nation’s largest for-profit hospital chain at the time.
During the late 1990s, federal investigators uncovered a massive, systematic fraud scheme within the company, which ultimately resulted in record-breaking fines and the company pleading guilty to corporate felonies.
Scott is another wealthy, globalist demon.
Makes you wonder what motivated him to do that?
Who is buttering his bread?
Dear Betsy, my impression is the people of Hungary feel as we did when Biden was selected and installed. What manner of willful ignorance must be in play to imagine this election was legitimate?
The comparison I made was with Obama, Lorraine. Out with the old, in with the new, younger “charismatic”, hopey-changey model.
I would have thought with plenty of evidence of EU despotism and “migrant” degradation on their doorstep, Hungarians would have said “Not Here!!”
Perhaps I shouldn’t be given the younger demographic makeup of its population, but I am astounded. A banquet of unpalatable consequences awaits.
I agree with your prediction of the dire consequences for the people of Hungary.
My dispute with the election is refusal to believe it was legitimate.
All the young people of Hungary needed to do was look at neighboring countries and apply it to themselves without Viktor Orban as the firewall.
The question on election integrity hangs like a dark cloud. I agree.
As for the young…
Age and experience will sort them out as they always do. Unfortunately, Time doesn’t have a pause button while they get there.
All the people of NYC needed to do was look 70 miles south of the U.S. to see the absolute failure of socialist/communist Cuba. Apparently no amount of logic will dissuade willful ignorance.
The new guy is actually a cut-throat, who used to be part of Orban’s team!
“Out with the old, in with the new”
That is why direct democracy is so very dangerous. It’s why our wise Founding Fathers made sure we should not have a direct democracy but were provided with a Constitutional Republic with many checks and balances.
In a direct democracy the majority only needs to get fooled once. One bad vote can cause permanent damage unless there are rock-solid constitutional protections to limit what a new regime can do.
Sadly in the US the old checks and balances have been steadily eroded. And the fools keep demanding “more democracy” instead of more checks on federal power.
Yeah, 78% turnout and on the other hand 81 million votes. Both pretty absurd and, more importantly, in your face.
Wait till Hungary is forced to take in “migrants” aka invading ME muslims now that Hungary is an official Euroweenie!!! When these illegal aliens start stabbing, raping and killing Hungarians in accordance with their muslim culture there will be massive voter regret is my guess? Maybe not? Hungary is no longer free but controlled and run by Brussels Belgium!!!
The EU celebrates what they are calling “the death of populism/nationalism”. I’d call it the slow march to civilizational destruction continued. Painful to watch.
As an aside, I imagine President Putin is taking note.
Slow only at first, don’t you think, Betsy?
Then all at once, dear sir?
Here are Magyar’s Marching Orders per the Financial Times.
Yes.
“EU ties €55bn fund release to Hungary’s break with Orbàn era”
https://archive.is/1FA3Z
The EU with no military and they plan
€55bn fund release?
So is the money paying for censorship?
Is it paying for those who are compliant ?
One of Hungary’s main problems are they are land-bound.
Yea, they are a vassal staye.
Buyers remorse is a consequence of buying something that was falsely represented.
I believe the election results were manipulated and NOT bought into by the Hungarian majority.
The Hungarian people sold out for the almighty Euro.
SD retweeted the following from Peter Sweden:
It begins.
The newly elected Prime Minister of Hungary has announced he plans to temporarily shut down news broadcasts on state owned media until “unbiased” news coverage is ensured.
And he mentioned the BBC as an example for an oversight board the new government wants to establish to ensure independence for state media.
https://x.com/PeterSweden7/status/2044004598621327520#m
Not looking good for Hungary.
Peter Sweden is good, as is Eva Vlaadingerbroek who has said the same.
For “independence of state media”, read censorship. And elimination of all sources with alternative views…
i.e. TRUTH.
The perfect EU vassal state leader, compliant.
And from what I’ve read of him, not a nice person.
VERY interesting.
An “Inside Hungary” distillation of how Orbàn’s ouster came to beand what is to come…from Rod Dreher (reliable) who lives there.
https://roddreher.substack.com/p/orban-going-but-orbanism-coming-to
Betsy, the link by roddreher above was eye-opening and very well written.
So much but here’s one quote regarding the economy we should all remember:
“When all boats cease to rise, all eyes turn to the yachts. “
That’s how we felt when Bribem was about to be sworn in.
I’ll never forget it.
“State-owned media” sounds as if it is a minority of outlets. People would think surely this won’t matter.
Let’s see how the likes of X and the internet as a whole with pod casts and independents fall into this realm.
If controlled-media groups and mobile telephone providers through the Wi-Fi routers are considered ruled by the state/or/ are state-owned, the outside world will remain the unknown world.
“Unbiased ”
above means
“state-approved”.
Peter Sweden has actually given us a picture of what to expect if an evil administration ever returns to the USA.
Thank you, Sundance.
There will never be a negotiated deal with Iran. Iran uses negotiations to stall and will never abide by anything they might eventually agree to. The only way to deal with the current Iranian government is to eliminate them all and let the Persian people form their own, secular government.
Fine. Take their islands in the gulf and build US bases on them. Keep taking out their leaders until you find a willing group to lead with our gun to their head.
No need for bases.
Keep the blockade going for 10-14 days until the storage facilities are full.
Oil rigs now have nowhere to send their crude.
Full stop
Two China oil tankers had no problem getting through the blockade.
President Trump is letting the Iranian government hang themselves with their own rope.
VP Vance made it very clear (much to the chagrin of the Cabbage Patch Boy interviewer) that the next move belongs to Iran. They get to choose their next step. That choice will determine President Trump’s response.
There is a HUGE hammer above the heads of the Iranian decision makers. President Trump holds the hammer, but it is Iran that will determine what President Trump does with the hammer.
Exactly right.
The Iranian regime will NEVER acquiesce.
And Trump will NEVER let them continue with the nukes.
Something will have to give.
God bless you, grumpy¡
You are exactly correct.
Oh yes, by all means, we want ‘boots on the ground’. No.
Right, Grumpy. And what’s this about no nukes for 20 years I heard about? How about forever?!
Reports are that Vance et al offered a 20 year time limit. If true it is a betrayal of the war effort. Forever means forever.
Wouldn’t, by chance, have a link to these “reports” you could share?
I’m guessing he does not.
I think @paul referring to this – https://www.newsmax.com/politics/nuclear-u-s-iran/2026/04/13/id/1252803/
Article references the “New York Times” as their source.
Not fit to so much as line a bird’s cage.
Might be busy
Maybe later… 😏
I read the same thing either yesterday of Monday. I don’t remember where. Don’t taze me, Bro!
True, and they countered with a five year limit.
Paul,
I heard that it was a five (5) year time limit!
Yikes!
Tremendous interview. That’s how you do it, journalism chums. Keep the questions on point, focused and simple; keep the spotlight on the subject at hand so he can explain himself and we are informed. At the end, we are left with thoughts on the topic, not some stupid made for tv conflict.
Negotiations with terrorists should be only about surrender. Not deals. Just saying. I have to say that we (Israel) are not a good example of it.
Just the lack of comments on this subject thread (18-at this point) shows
how oblivious people are to this vote outcome.
It’s a sad, sad day and
years to come
for Hungary.
It will be consumed by the vultures of anti-culture.
Not oblivious, just saw this vote coming some time ago. Orban’s principled policy opposing the EU was causing an amount of economic hardship. Meanwhile, Magyar ran on a more congeniel relationship with Brussels along with continued anti-immigration. The latter likely being disingenuous.
Remember, “It’s the economy, stupid.”
There will be regrets once the honeymoon period is over.
Magyar will “evolve” and become indistinguishable from all the other EU managers posing as leaders.
The Ukraine war will necessarily continue for reasons.
There’s chaos, depopulation and big $ for a few in endless wars, congrats to the PRC for watching and laughing all the way to the bank
I believe Magyar’s true colors will show quite quickly.
Just like VA’s new governor and NYC’s new mayor.
Allegiance has to be shown quickly to reap their initial reward.
What is there to say about an election that we knew would be rigged? And then produced the “winner” that the riggers were rooting for.
We’re not oblivious. We are taking notes and using the cold anger that we feel to strengthen us against the riggers in our UniParty Deep State who we will be fighting in 2026 and 2028.
And Zelensky and E.U. were fully behind getting Orban out. Zelensky, who still refuses to have an election since he got elected in 2019. His term is over but the neo con war mongers here have no problem with Zelensky being a true dictator. It’s all Orban’s and Russia’s fault.
If they are negotiating with Mullahs named Kahmeini, then they are talking to the wrong folks.
The Arabs that surround them should know best that these lunatics want nuclear bombs for exactly one reason: to set them all off.
Maybe this will fulfill their duty to cause(!) “the End of Days,” so that their infernal messiah will pop up out of his hole to rule over everything that isn’t glowing. (Hundreds of millions of “infidels,” like you and me, will of course be put to the sword.) And, if that doesn’t work, there are always 72 virgins to f&ck forever.
Think Vance will be exposed as more GOPe than MAGA at some point.
Did I hear JD swipe at the President for saying they had a different opinion?
🤔
On 2nd listen- JD may have been directing his comment to certain staff who divulged differences- with respect to Iran.
He adroitly evoided a loaded question.
All he said outloud was their private conversations are noneyabidness and he agrees with President Trump that Iran can not have a nuclear weapon.
The IRGC is the other ‘officials’ the negotiators must go back to consult. The IRGC controls it all and has for the past 47 years.
The radical mullahs/clerics would not last ten minutes without the IRGC as enforcers.
They must be eradicated. Completely.
“The radical mullahs/clerics would not last ten minutes without the IRGC as enforcers. They must be eradicated. Completely.”
In the absence of a massive ground invasion and occupation of Iran, how do you propose to do that?
Fox News with Bret Baier. Lets start off with some negativity (What Went Wrong). Lets start off with that I-Ran is scared chitless is that correct Mr. VP.
The story I read, the I-Ran delegation had to change their flight plan home because they felt intimidated and that they might be blown out of the sky. What is said behind closed doors?
I believe President Trump, the I-Ran thugs are not only wanting to negotiate but are begging to negotiate because its their survival. That is why President Trump keeps saying, I could careless don’t care. The I-Ran’s not so interested in meeting those virgins right now.
Bombs away I say.
“We should bomb
VietnamIran back into the Stone Age.” — General Curtis E. Le May“Vance also noted the negotiators in the Iran delegation did not appear to have the ability to make a deal without going back to talk to other Iranian officials.”
“Other Iranian Officials” = Pussies
Perhaps London. Perhaps China. Certainly the IRGC is beholden to something other than integrity and authenticity.
At Least Trump has the courage to say what he thinks and put his identity behind it.
Iran must never have a nuclear weapon as their leaders are helming a death cult.
These people are religious zealots and fanatics. There’s no negotiating with them.
So, when is Israel’s nukes addressed? We’ve been hearing this 💩 from Bibi since 1992. Israel has used the fact that they have nukes as leverage. I have nothing for the mullahs, but it seems that Israel is seeking hegemony and expects other countries to surrender their sovereignty, expecting others to abide by rules they refuse to abide by. I almost wish Iran did develop a nuclear weapon, maybe it would stop Israel from fing around, feeling entitled in expecting us to fight their wars. So, why would Iran surrender something that Israel was unable to accompany through war??? What if we were approached with ultimatums? This so called “negotiating” has been nothing more than ultimatums. How would we react if we were attacked twice? How would Israel reacted had Bibi been assassinated as they did Ali Khameni? The world is tired of Israel stirring the 💩, then acting like victims. We owe them or any other country NOTHING!
All Iran has to do to win, was to survive. Trump has failed to live up to his promises and instead has become a neocon and Bibi’s piss boy
UK has been in league with the Mullahs in Iran the entire time. for 47 years.
Bomb the railcar tracks that lead to China NOW! Stop the oil going to China and the military supplies coming in from China. 2 birds with one stone. This notion that negotiating with terrorists can work is a fools errand.
