Vance has called Trump 12 times and at least once reached out to Netanyahu? Iranian scholar Ehsan Taghadosi wrote today (Beijing time April 12): "Unlike Kalibaf, Vance seems to have arrived in Islamabad without full authorization to reach an agreement with Iran."
According to his own account, during the 21-hour negotiation session, he contacted Trump more than 12 times to discuss relevant issues. And according to Aragachi, during the talks in Islamabad, he made at least one phone call to Netanyahu.
The U.S. needs a negotiator capable of concluding agreements on the spot—not someone clutching a mobile phone, constantly checking in with dad or uncle like a child."
[Witty] Commentary: The U.S.-Iran negotiations in Islamabad are nothing short of a farce. Vance spent 21 hours negotiating yet called Trump over a dozen times for approval—so much so that even an Iranian scholar mocked him as a child seeking parental approval. How can such a figure represent the U.S. with real negotiating power? He’s clearly just a mouthpiece without the royal seal. Vance, lacking full authority, was always just a smoke screen thrown by Trump. His secret communication with Netanyahu during the talks further confirms this so-called peace dialogue lacked genuine intent. Trump has always been shrewd in political calculation, pursuing policies toward Iran based purely on self-interest, shifting positions without consistency. He never intended to finalize any substantive agreement in Islamabad. Instead, he used Vance’s awkward performance to stage a fake show: pretending to signal willingness to negotiate while simultaneously manipulating regional dynamics and harvesting political gains. Vance is merely a puppet in Trump’s hypocritical game—this entire negotiation may well be a self-directed political hoax.
