The US vice president relied on phone calls during negotiations in Islamabad, Seyed Mohammad Marandi has told RT’s Rick Sanchez
The US delegation headed by Vice President J.D. Vance lacked decision-making authority during talks with Iran earlier this month, Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi, who was part of Tehran’s negotiating team, has told RT’s Sanchez Effect.
Speaking with host Rick Sanchez on Monday, Marandi shared his observations of the April 11-12 negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan.
”Americans did not have the authority in negotiations. Vance did not have the authority to make decisions,” Marandi said. “He was constantly on the phone, making a dozen calls, including apparently to [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu.”
“A person who keeps making calls like that at the negotiating table obviously does not have the authority to decide,” he added.
The US delegation included Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and presidential adviser Jared Kushner – who is Donald Trump’s son-in-law. The Iranian side was led by parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
