This smacks of haughty, obnoxious celebrities constantly telling their personal assistants, “Tell her . . .”

I would say, this smacks more of the behavior of men than women. We are always accused of emotionalism, but we're incredible Leaders, can see around corners, and do more than two things at once.

One of my favorite Jordan Klepper interviews at a Trump Rally before the 2016 election.
Q: "Can a woman be president?"

To me it seems more like middle-school communications. "Tell Heather I saw her talking to Brandon" or "You tell Jose I'm gonna mess him up after school."

This is true if it’s a mediation rather than a negotiation. However, the description suggests that the Pakistani PM is a go-between, not a mediator.

Wow… we’ve entered the passive aggressive stage of warfare.

Is this administration getting pointers from Mean Girls?

We clearly have escalated beyond the Daria Morgandorfer sarcastic stage.

Given how the negotiations went the very first time, with trumps minions ignoring what the Iranians were saying, making things up, not know& refusing to learn names...
I think its they want to have a 3rd party there to explain how unhinged the Americans are being & screwing things up.

The Iranians don’t wanna have anything to do with that imbecile Kushner, who screwed them over last time. But they DID get the Pakistanis to agree to bring them halal lamb kebabs every hour. That’s the only reason they’ve agreed to show up.

Would you be able to sincerely endure a face-to-face with Jared Kushner, who had no understanding - or simply didn’t care - what was offered in negotiations by Iran before Trump started bombing missions?

There's no such thing as secret rooms or bunkers. Osama Bin-Laden was hiding in a non-descript hole underground and the U.S. got him. And his miserable sons, too.

Iran should demand to be in the same room. A) Witkoff and Kushner won't have a clue what's being said anyway and B) it might keep the IDF from bombing the venue.

What -- and stir up more controversy about seating arrangements and room security? Separate rooms is probably more efficient and expeditious. Also, it allows each side to discuss immediately among themselves the latest communication from the other side.
