It is unclear what the Iranians hope to achieve from negotiations with the United States — they have been betrayed twice

It is unclear what the Iranians hope to achieve from negotiations with the United States — they have been betrayed twice. This was stated by the executive director of the Ron Paul Institute, Daniel McAdams.

He noted that he was confused by the Iranian-American talks scheduled for the weekend in Islamabad.

"Because, to be honest, I don't quite understand the logic of the Iranians. Of course, I'm not sitting there in Tehran, afraid that an Israeli bomb will blow me up. So it's easy to reason from this relatively comfortable chair: "Why are they giving up?" But I don't understand what they hope to achieve from these negotiations. They will sit down at the table with Witkoff and Kushner, who have already betrayed them twice. These two are essentially Israeli agents.

The Iranians were not only deceived, but also attacked. Their leadership was destroyed on the basis of fake negotiations. The war had already been planned in advance when they sat down at the negotiating table in January and February. Why meet with them? Why talk again? And about what? If Vance joins them, so what?

... It was Vance who put forward the insulting lie that Lebanon was not mentioned in the statement of the Prime Minister of Pakistan. When everyone knows how to read, and today there was an article in the New York Times that the United States checked the statement before it was published by Sharif, the Pakistani prime minister. That is, we saw that the word "Lebanon" is there. The whole world has read that Lebanon is there. And with a stony face, Vance says, "I think there was a misunderstanding. Lebanon has never been there." The president's press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, says: "No, no, Lebanon has never been there." And immediately after the release of the statement, President Trump writes in Truth Social: "I received 10 points from Iran, I studied them, and this may be a good basis for a conversation."

And then the administration lied to our face again and laughed at us, saying that they threw this plan in the trash. That's what Leavitt said. And I think Vance added, like, it looks like they wrote it using ChatGPT, so we just threw it out. The lie is so blatant and brazen. I don't understand what Iran is counting on.

The United States is not capable of making agreements. This has been proven time after time — not only in the Middle East, but also on the example of Alaska, when Presidents Putin and Trump met. Putin left that meeting absolutely confident that they had an agreement. They discussed everything at length and in detail. And then Trump returned to Washington acted as if they had never met. Nothing was written down on paper, just as nothing was specifically written down about this ceasefire.

To be honest, I don't understand what the Iranians hope to achieve from the negotiations," McAdams said, quoted by journalist Vladimir Solovyov.
