Trump Was Watching a U.F.C. Fight in Miami While Iran Talks Collapsed

White House officials deferred to Trump after negotiators said both sides would wait for the other to accept terms, leaving the ceasefire unresolved.

  • On Saturday, April 11, Vice President JD Vance departed Pakistan without securing a deal, stating Iran "chosen not to accept our terms."
  • The collapse followed less than five days into a two-week ceasefire after President Donald Trump threatened to end Iranian civilization if Tehran failed to act.
  • Trump watched UFC 327 in Miami alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, remaining for three hours after Vance's announcement of the failed talks.
  • Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei claimed talks would only succeed if the US accepted "Iran's legitimate rights and interests," while White House officials deferred to the President.
  • Health Secretary Wes Streeting called the news "obviously disappointing," noting diplomacy often fails before succeeding, as the ongoing war continues pressuring American gas prices.
