Iranian Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref
Press TV – April 11, 2026
Iran’s Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref says a deal with the United States is possible if American negotiators adopt an “America First” approach, warning that talks would fail if they instead pursue an “Israel First” agenda.
In a post published on X on Saturday, Aref wrote: “If we negotiate in Islamabad with representatives of ‘America First,’ an agreement beneficial to both sides and the world is probable. However, if we face representatives of ‘Israel First,’ there will be no deal.”
“We will inevitably continue our defense even more vigorously than before, and the world will face greater costs,” he added.
The criminal US-Israeli aggression on Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders, including the Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
Iranian armed forces responded by launching almost daily missile and drone operations targeting locations in the Israeli-occupied territories as well as US military bases and assets across the region.

On April 8, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) announced that there was an agreement to a Pakistan-brokered temporary ceasefire after the US accepted Iran’s 10-point proposal.
A high-level delegation from Iran arrived in Islamabad late Friday to hold negotiations with the US.
The delegation, headed by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, landed in the Pakistani capital aboard Flight “Minab 168,” a reference to 168 schoolgirls killed by the US military on January 28.
The delegation comprises specialized committees covering security, political, military, economic, and legal affairs.
Other key Iranian officials accompanying the team include Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati, and Secretary of the Defense Council Ali Akbar Ahmadian.
On the US side, Vice President JD Vance is present in Islamabad alongside negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
Huh !
How could ANY reps be America First, ?
When they have to publically & HUMILIATINGLY pledge allegiance to Israel first & foremost. and are blocked from progressing if they refuse to do this.
A dumb requirement by the Iranians, Surely they know this.
There again, Iran are only stating the obvious, Yet the vast majority of the American public won’t comprehend this.
The Troubles will continue.
to the traitor UK PM. You have VERY SERIOUS problems to sort out in the UK.
What are you doing ‘visiting’ the middle east… you Cumb Dunt.
Iran, top academics and hard-core soldiers that they are, trusting the US and Israel again means their belief in humanity outshines their senses. These are dogs they are dealing with and they will attack them again.
The US is controlled by Jewish money and goyisch greed. There are only two things that can break that combination. A world changing natural catastrophe or a crushing military defeat that reaches into every American home.

“The US is controlled by Jewish money and goyisch greed”
A good insight.
Jews are like mushrooms that feed on the decay of the substrate.
That is why they promote ever more decay. It’s their “Lebensraum”
I wouldn’t meet with any committee that had Jared Kushner on it. His presence signals that his team’s only goal is Jews win, everybody else loses. So why bother talking at all.
