【Can the Iranian delegation return home safely, or will they be wiped out?】 Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Bahgai, detailed in an interview the exact reasons why negotiations failed, noting that while significant progress was made, two to three key issues ultimately blocked the agreement.
Esmail Baghai: "We reached understanding on many issues, but there were disagreements on two or three crucial topics, which ultimately prevented us from reaching a deal."
He said: "This round of talks was the longest this year, lasting a total of 24 or 25 hours."
"This is a tool for safeguarding national interests. Diplomats must fulfill their duties during both war and peace."
"These negotiations took place 40 days after the imposed war began, conducted amid an atmosphere of suspicion and mistrust."
"From the outset, we should not have expected an agreement to be reached in a single session—no one had such expectations."
"Another issue lies in the complexity of the topics and conditions involved."
"New issues were introduced into these talks, such as the Strait of Hormuz."
"Each issue carries its own inherent complexity."
"In any case, our diplomatic institutions must uphold the rights and interests of the Iranian people."
"I thank the government and people of Pakistan for their warm hospitality, and I believe our ties with regional friends will continue."
"Diplomacy stands shoulder to shoulder with the warriors defending the homeland—we are ready to make every sacrifice!"
The final sentence carries a touch of tragic grandeur!
A source from Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guard, said: "Iran is not in a rush. Now the ball is in America’s court. While the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, they still have time to reconsider their miscalculations."
Meanwhile, a large number of American warplanes are en route to the Middle East.
Massive strikes are expected "within a few hours".
The Iranian delegation is facing sudden danger, and their return journey is fraught with uncertainty.
Vance left the scene immediately, without wasting a single moment.
