[Shocking: Americans Use Life-Threatening Tactics Against Iranian Negotiation Delegation!] Malandi, a familiar Iranian establishment commentator to Chinese media (see Figure 4), was part of the Iranian delegation's media team during U.S.-Iran negotiations, accompanying the lead negotiators on flights to Islamabad and back to Tehran.
Speaking in an interview with RT, he revealed previously unknown internal details:
He said that Vance suddenly terminated the talks without any prior warning—cutting them off abruptly.
According to Iran’s account, at the time, U.S.-Iran negotiations had already entered the stage of exchanging expert-level documents, giving the impression that a breakthrough was imminent.
Malandi believes Vance’s abrupt halt was linked to a critical opinion piece published by The Washington Post, whose reporter advocated for assassinating Iranian negotiators should the talks collapse.
All 71 members of the Iranian negotiation team felt directly threatened for their lives.
Malandi stated that this newspaper is a highly influential media outlet historically closely tied to the CIA, and has long maintained close relations with the intelligence agency.
Malandi implies that The Washington Post's threatening rhetoric was coordinated with Vance’s actions—intended to intimidate Iran into submission: if the talks fail, the entire Iranian delegation will be wiped out!
The Iranians stood firm and refused to yield.
Malandi refuted related reports, explaining that to avoid being shot down mid-flight, the delegation secretly switched aircraft during their return journey. The originally scheduled flight to Tehran suddenly changed course and made a rapid descent into Mashhad—a city near the border—after leaving Pakistani airspace.
The report states that all delegation members disembarked in Mashhad and then returned to Tehran via train, car, and bus.
Iranians clearly felt that every member of the delegation had been tarnished in reputation.
Because in reality, they had entered and exited together as a group (see Figures 2 & 3).
Malandi disclosed the truth about the delegation’s return to Tehran: “We all boarded the plane—no one wanted to stay in Pakistan. We were willing to take the risk, just like Iranian civilians who shouted on the streets during missile attacks, risking their lives to stand firm. The delegation remained resolute, morale high throughout the flight!”
Indeed, the U.S. proved cunning—manipulating the process from within, even coordinating with American media to create psychological pressure on Iran, forcing them to capitulate during negotiations.
Anyone familiar with Panmunjom knows this is exactly how the U.S. typically behaves.
The Iranians are literally risking their lives in these negotiations, yet they have maintained remarkable composure and caution.
