Explosive Iran admission leaks out of White House… as insiders mock JD Vance’s response to humiliating ‘prom snub’

Bad rumors are circulating about Vice President J.D. Vance after his high-risk trip to the Swiss Alps to meet with Iranian leaders was abruptly canceled at the eleventh hour.

While Vance’s team remained on standby at Joint Base Andrews, three separate insiders revealed that the notoriously stubborn Iranian regime had begun “gaming” the unstable US-Iran peace deal.

Desperate as the situation unraveled, Trump turned to Truth Social, trying to save America’s face and making new demands.

‘We did not meet out of desperation, Iran did. They’re done! We will play 60 days. ‘They don’t even get paid a dime!’ he shouted.

But some within the Trump administration were privately singing a very different tune, displaying their anger at the obstacles to ending a war the President started with Israel.

“Yes, the cards are in the hands of the Iranians,” a White House source admitted to the Daily Mail. ‘It’s not clear how much more we can do to please them. Iran has also successfully strained America’s relations with our best ally in the Middle East, Israel.’

The source went further, describing Vance’s paused trip as a ‘suicide mission’.

Vance’s spokesman, Parker Magid, criticized the source, saying ‘there is no dispute that the President holds the cards.’

“None of these sources have any influence or knowledge of this administration,” Magid asserted.

Former US diplomat Brett Bruen put it this way: ‘Tehran has Vance up for the ball and all he can do is sulk on the couch.’

Bruen, who was the former Director of Global Affairs at the White House during the Obama and Bush administrations, even called it “despicable.”

“This is not the greatness of America, it is the humility of America to hold a ceremony to sign off on the concept of a plan for our surrender without securing any of the objectives we set at the beginning of the war,” Bruen said, adding that Vance’s attempts to ‘spin’ this as a strategic agreement or anything other than surrender ‘shattered what was left of his credibility and beliefs.’

White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly denied this, claiming the memorandum ‘gives the world a real chance for peace’ and that only ‘President Trump, Vice President Vance and the US negotiating team have the courage to defeat the nuclear threat posed by Iran.’

Vance knew before he took the White House podium on Thursday that Iran had already backed away from its commitments, but he was still publicly defending the diplomatic process, three people, including a senior Iranian source, told the Daily Mail.

During the briefing, he cast doubt for the first time about his planned trip to Lucerne as he defended so-called ‘gentlemen’s agreements’ on Tehran’s uranium stockpiles and nuclear ambitions.

The sudden freeze followed a report by Hezbollah-allied pan-Arab satellite channel Al-Mayadeen, which alleged that Iran had deliberately stalled the Swiss delegation because of Israel’s military action in Lebanon.

Ambassador Mark Wallace, former US Ambassador to the UN, was blunt: ‘Iran’s failure to show up is directly due to their delay and diversionary tactics. The test for management is to show that there will be results.’

Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies said Iran displayed “predictable frivolity” from the beginning and its aim was to buy time.

The White House’s official statement late at night offered little information, revealing the frantic scramble behind the scenes.

“The logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable,” the article published on Thursday night said, and confirmed that the delegation was ready to leave but technical talks had not yet been completed. ‘As of now, the Vice President is not leaving tonight.’

The last-minute collapse reinforced what critics describe as the administration’s desperation to reach an agreement with Iranian leaders who have repeatedly proven untrustworthy and recalcitrant.

‘Hezbollah is Iran’s proxy. He acts on the instructions of the regime. Attacks on Israel are Iran’s continued violation of the agreement. “We can only hope that the Vice President will accept this immutable truth,” said Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

The Alpine summit had been announced as the backdrop for intense talks with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, as well as mediators from Pakistan and Qatar.

Vance has led the talks since April, when he chaired preliminary talks in Islamabad.

‘If it works, I’ll take the credit. “If this doesn’t work, I blame JD,” Trump joked to reporters on Wednesday.

The overnight collapse proves the truth of Trump’s joke on the final day of the G7 summit in France: ‘If it works, I’ll take the credit. If it doesn’t work, I blame JD. You better be careful, JD. He’ll turn his plane around and get the hell out of here.’

Vance’s wheels didn’t even lift.

Its signing on Friday had been quietly brought forward; While Trump completed the Memorandum of Understanding at a candlelit dinner in Paris on Wednesday night, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also signed remotely.

However, both ceremonies dissolved before they could take place.

A White House official close to Vance insisted he was unbothered by the public rebuke. ‘He just laughs behind closed doors,’ the official said. ‘He knows he’s the man for the job.’

The agreement, which aims to end months of conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, is facing silent resistance in the cabinet.

While Vance has been singled out as a leading proponent of the deal, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is among the skeptics.

“No, Secretary Rubio doesn’t like this deal,” a former White House official said. ‘That’s all I have to say.’

While a person from the State Department described Rubio in the role of a ‘loyal soldier’, he also stated that he was very aware of the semester calculations.

‘Rubio knows how these regimes work, given his Cuban background. He knows a leopard can’t change its spots.’

State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott responded: ‘Secretary Rubio and the entire administration are 100 percent behind President Trump. ‘The president has taken unprecedented action to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and make the world safer.’

Still, the pressure is on Vance to save the framework, and if the framework doesn’t come together, the consequences will lie at his feet.
