US-Iran Talks Collapse: US Floats Iran-China Blockade as US Prepares for Further War on Iran
April 12, 2026 - US-Iran Talks Collapse: US Floats Iran-China Blockade as US Prepares for Further War on Iran- US "negotiations" with Iran failed primarily because US terms were illegal under international law and simply coercion dressed up as “negotiations;”
- US Vice President JD Vance’s role in the failed talks and his public threats against Iran afterward confirm his ardent support for US aggression evident even during 2024 presidential campaigning;
- US war with Iran is part of continuity of agenda, driven by US-based corporate interests transcending presidential administrations regardless of rhetoric or supposed political affiliations with the Biden administration carrying out policy without which the current war could not have been launched;
- Beyond the Middle East the US is attacking, undermining, and toppling nations producing and shipping oil and gas to China with the ultimate goal of blockading, undermining, containing, and even collapsing China itself;
- The Trump administration is even floating the idea of a blockade on Iran meant specifically place pressure on China;
