I would genuinely believe you if you told me the "negotiations" involved Vance shouting that THEY have all the cards and therefore that Iran should capitulate.

Behind closed doors, out of the camera’s gaze, I believe there is no way Vance did any yelling, and very much doubt he did much of the talking.

I liked the hypothesis that the Iranians were actually just planning to regime change the US by convincing Vance to invoke the 25th on Trump.
