Vance says US-Iran talks end without deal after 21 hours of negotiations

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Vice President JD Vance said Sunday that high-stakes talks between the U.S. and Iran ended without a deal after Iranian officials refused to accept American terms.
Speaking during a press conference from the Serena Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan, Vance said Iran has «chosen not to accept our terms.»
«The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement,» Vance said. «And I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America.»
The vice president said talks with Iranian officials lasted 21 hours, describing them as «substantive discussions,» but adding the U.S. was unwilling to compromise on its «red lines.»

«So we go back to the United States, having not come to an agreement. We’ve made very clear what our red lines are, what things we’re willing to accommodate them on and what things we’re not willing to accommodate them on,» Vance added. «And we’ve made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept our terms.»
Fox News Digital’s Preston Mizell asked Vance if he had been in contact with President Donald Trump during the talks, and the vice president said he had been «consistently.»
«I don’t know how many times we talked to him — a half dozen times, a dozen times over the past 21 hours,» Vance said, adding that the U.S. team was also communicating with other members of the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

«So, look, we were constantly in communication with the team because we were negotiating in good faith,» Vance said. «And we leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We’ll see if the Iranians accept it.»
Vance arrived in Pakistan early Saturday to lead high-stakes negotiations with Iran aimed at preserving a fragile ceasefire announced by Trump earlier this week and preventing a broader regional war.
Vance was joined by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, as part of a senior delegation engaging Iranian officials in Islamabad.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf were negotiating for Iran.
While Vance declined to elaborate on which terms Iran rejected, he said the U.S. sought assurances that Iran would not develop a nuclear weapon.
«The simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon,» Vance said. «That is the core goal of the president of the United States. And that’s what we’ve tried to achieve through these negotiations.»

Cuba restablece parcialmente la electricidad tras el tercer apagón nacional en seis meses

Cuba afirmó este martes haber restablecido más del 30% del suministro eléctrico en La Habana tras un nuevo apagón nacional, en un contexto de crisis energética agudizada por el bloqueo petrolero de Estados Unidos. Es el tercer apagón en los últimos seis meses y el octavo desde finales de 2024.
Según el último parte de la Empresa Eléctrica de La Habana, se han restablecido los “circuitos de distribución que benefician a 262.369 clientes (…) para el 30,4% en la ciudad”.
“El restablecimiento se realiza de forma gradual en la medida que lo permitan las condiciones”, añade la empresa, según la cual ya funcionan los servicios “vitales de salud” de 43 centros de atención médica de la capital.
La falta de combustible “complejiza indiscutiblemente el proceso de restauración” de la red eléctrica, había declarado el lunes por la noche en la televisión estatal Lázaro Guerra, director de Electricidad del Ministerio de Energía y Minas.
Miguel Díaz-Canel responsabilizó directamente a la política estadounidense de sanciones contra la isla. “Mientras EEUU trata de inducir un estallido social por asfixia, al bloquear los accesos de combustible a Cuba, la UNE (Unión Eléctrica de Cuba) se moviliza”, dijo en X.
“Es heroico lo que hacen los trabajadores eléctricos en medio de un bloqueo energético genocida”, añadió.
A mediodía del lunes, la compañía eléctrica anunció “desconexión total” del sistema que afecta a toda la isla, donde viven 9,6 millones de personas. No se precisaron las causas.
El envejecimiento del sistema eléctrico sumado al bloqueo petrolero desde enero hace que los cubanos enfrenten apagones de hasta 30 horas en la capital, y de varios días en el interior de la isla.
“Al final, teníamos tres o cuatro horas de luz al día, así que el mayor impacto ahora es que no sabes cuándo volverás a tener ese poquito de luz”, declaró a la AFP Meybol Font, una trabajadora independiente, de 51 años.
“Es agónico vivir así”, acotó la mujer.
La producción de electricidad en el país depende principalmente de siete centrales térmicas obsoletas, algunas de las cuales llevan más de 40 años en explotación y sufren averías frecuentes o deben parar para mantenimiento, así como de una red de generadores de respaldo alimentados con diésel importado.
La central eléctrica Antonio Guiteras, ubicada en el oeste de la isla y la principal del país, se encuentra paralizada desde hace varios días por una falla.
Esta central ha registrado más de 15 paralizaciones sucesivas por averías desde principios de año. Esta situación provoca cortes y racionamientos constantes, pese a un amplio programa de construcción de parques solares lanzado hace dos años.

Cuba se encuentra sumida en una fuerte crisis económica con escasez de alimentos, medicinas y una inflación galopante.
Los apagones se han intensificado desde que la administración estadounidense de Donald Trump cortó los envíos de petróleo desde Venezuela, principal proveedor de la isla, y amenazó con sanciones a otros países que le vendan combustible.
Un joven programador de 24 años que trabaja para una empresa privada de desarrollo de software en La Habana Vieja regresaba frustrado a su casa.
“No hay wifi, no hay electricidad, no podemos trabajar”, explicó a la AFP el joven, que prefirió no revelar su identidad.
Cuba solicitó para el martes una sesión especial de la Asamblea General, el principal órgano representativo de las Naciones Unidas, para abordar el tema de las sanciones estadounidenses.
En ese contexto, el canciller cubano, Bruno Rodríguez, afirmó el lunes que Washington busca impedir que la Asamblea se pronuncie sobre el impacto del bloqueo petrolero y otras sanciones impuestas a la isla.
“El gobierno de EEUU intenta impedir que la Asamblea General de la ONU se pronuncie. Presiona a gobiernos y busca coaccionar la voluntad soberana de los Estados miembros”, señaló en X Rodríguez, quien participará de la sesión del martes en la sede de la ONU en Nueva York.
Se requiere una votación de los Estados miembros para la apertura de un debate de este tipo ante la Asamblea General.

Extremist streamer declares NYC an Islamic republic with popular terror chant: ‘Mamdani’s New York’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A streamer who broadcasts to more than 1 million followers on a popular online platform set off a viral firestorm after invoking Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s name as he declared Islam would take over New York City.
«Allahu Akbar!» the extremist internet personality Sneako yelled amidst a group of Egypt soccer fans while drums were banged and horns were blown. Egyptian flags waved among the crowd as they chanted along.
Sneako, whose real name is Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy, has been described as a provocateur and palled around with the online antisemitic far-right during his rise to social media stardom. Before that, he was all-in on his support for the political far-left and supported the presidential campaign of socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in 2016. He reportedly converted to Islam in 2023.

But Friday night, after Egypt dethroned Australia in the World Cup, he may have made his most controversial splash yet while live broadcasting on the streets of New York City on the video streaming platform Kick.
Mockingly wiping tears from his eyes, Sneak said: «Oh no, oh no. F— you!»
«This is the Islamic Republic of New York-istan,» he continued. «Islam will be in every household. Inshallah the whole world will be Muslim.»
«Welcome to Mamdani’s New York. You see this city? You see how it looks? Inshallah, your city looks just like this too,» he shouted among the crowd.

Mamdani is the first Muslim mayor of New York.
The clip of Sneako quickly circulated the web, garnering tens of millions of views across platforms including Instagram and X, while thousands of people slammed him for the pronouncement.

One of the sharpest replies came from Rob O’Neill, the Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden in an early morning raid on the terrorist’s compound in 2011.
«These guys sound WAY different when you wake them up at 2am,» he said.
A pair of massive personalities on X, who have a history of bad blood, even teamed up to demand a harsh punishment for the streamer.
«Deport him NOW!!!» conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said in reply to the clip, which elicited a response from X owner and former Jones opponent Elon Musk.

«Yes,» Musk simply replied.
When Musk purchased X — then Twitter — and vowed the return of free speech to the platform, Jones had been permanently suspended. At first, Musk was hesitant to reinstate Jones given the Sandy Hook controversy that surrounded the radio show host. Eventually, however, Musk relented.
One X user labeled the streamer as a «Disgusting creature.»
«Send this dude to Iran if he hates America so much,» said another.
Sneako appeared to cryptically address the controversy in a post of his own on X Sunday night.

«Every knee will bow,» he posted. «Every tongue confess.»

On Monday, he took a shot at Musk for echoing Jones’ deportation post.
«Go back to Africa,» he told Musk, who is native to South African. «This is my country.»
Mamdani’s office did not return Fox News Digital’s request for comment on Sneako’s comments.
