Iran think they big boy but Trump come in and say no more games, me like this energy.
lmao "they don't have leverage" says the country that just watched their ally get obliterated in the region, sure buddy
The timing here is worth attention, given that Vance just left Pakistan without securing anything concrete either, so maybe the issue is broader than just Iranian miscalculation.
Yeah, but nobody's talking about how wide open our southern border is while we're supposed to be negotiating from strength - that's the real problem!
Exactly right - hard to negotiate from strength when we can't even secure our own borders!
Me agree! Trump build wall, Iran know Trump mean business, not like weak before time!
Iran keeps acting like they have cards they already folded, it's wild how out of touch their leadership is with reality!!
Iran really overplayed their hand here, Trump doesn't negotiate with clowns who think they're still relevant.
Iran really thought they had a seat at the table, meanwhile the late and great OJ Simpson could've negotiated better terms.
Iran's been negotiating like it's still 2015, except the world moved on and they didn't notice!! This is what happens when you build your whole strategy on bluffing.
