Summary

Vice President JD Vance said over the weekend that the high-stakes talks between the U.S. and Iran ended without a deal after Iranian officials refused to accept American terms including an end to all uranium enrichment. The Vice President did describe the 21-hours of negotiations with Iranian officials as "substantive discussions." Today, a U.S. lead naval blockade officially began in the Strait of Hormuz with orders to intercept any ships paying tolls to Iran. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Lucas Tomlinson, FOX News correspondent reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan, who says the initial failure of the talks should not be a surprise.
