A Democratic political analyst was floored on Sunday after President Donald Trump's "lying" about negotiations to end the war in Iran seemed to come back to bite him.

Over the weekend, Trump said the White House was preparing to send another delegation to Pakistan to negotiate the end of the war in Iran. The deployment follows Vice President JD Vance's unsuccessful trip to the Middle East last week to secure a deal.

President Donald Trump has dragged the U.S. into a "really dangerous" situation that he can't get out of, according to one analyst.

David Pakman, a liberal YouTuber and host of "The David Pakman Show," argued in a recent reaction video that Trump's efforts to reinstate the terms of the Obama administration's Iran Nuclear Deal, which Trump tore up in 2018, have put the U.S. in a bad situation. On the one hand, it has given Iran some leverage in the negotiations to end the war. On the other hand, it has also soured the relationship between the U.S. and its European allies, Pakman argued.

A former Trump administration official was baffled on Sunday as President Donald Trump's strategy to end the war in Iran backfired.

Last week, Trump dispatched Vice President JD Vance to Pakistan to negotiate an end to the war, but Vance returned to the U.S. empty-handed. John Bolton, Trump's national security advisor during his first administration, said on CNN's "CNN Newsroom with Fredricka Whitfield" that this strategy has given the Iranians "enormous leverage" in the negotiations, and that Trump may be making it worse by sending more high-level officials next week.

A political analyst shared a stark warning for President Donald Trump during a segment on MS NOW on Sunday.

Chris Hayes, host of MS NOW's "All In with Chris Hayes," said during a segment on Sunday's broadcast of "Crooked on MS NOW" that Republicans seem to be aware that Trump's "lame duck-ness" is setting in. That means there could be many Republicans who start to distance themselves from the Trump brand during the midterms as they chart their path forward without him, Hayes added.

A lawyer predicted on Sunday that one of the "messy" members of President Donald Trump's cabinet could be the next to go.

Shant Karnikian, co-host of the "Civil Action" podcast, predicted during a new episode that Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer could be the next one of Trump's cabinet secretaries to depart the administration because her husband has been accused of inappropriately touching employees at the Labor Department. Karnikian described it as a "messy little saga" inside the administration.

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that the U.S. has seized an Iranian-flagged ship in the Strait of Hormuz that was allegedly attempting to get through the U.S. blockade.

The announcement came at a time when U.S. officials have said that Iran chose to close the Strait of Hormuz to many foreign ships, which is in violation of the fragile ceasefire agreement the two countries recently agreed to. At the same time, some U.S. officials are scheduled to travel to Pakistan next week to continue negotiations to end the war in Iran, which has raged since late February.

President Donald Trump's latest series of late-night social media posts sparked fresh health concerns on Sunday.

Late Saturday night, Trump posted a video on his Truth Social page of Frank Sinatra singing his hit song "My Way." It was one of dozens of posts Trump made throughout the night, which alarmed some observers. The video also came at a time when some have raised concerns about the president's mental fitness after he threatened to obliterate the Iranian civilization in a previous post on Truth Social.

President Donald Trump claimed on Sunday that peace talks between the United States and Iran were set to resume on Monday, but within a matter of hours, the claim was fiercely rebuked by a senior Iranian official.

“Despite Trump's announcement this morning that a new round of negotiations has been set, a senior Iranian official told me Tehran has not officially agreed to talks,” wrote Drop Site News reporter Jeremy Scahill, citing a senior Iranian official who spoke with the outlet on the condition of anonymity.

A new poll from NBC News revealed Sunday that support for the U.S. war against Iran has plummeted as the conflict inches closer to the two-month mark, and at such a rate that it left several critics astonished.

“It took two years for two-thirds of Americans to disapprove of Bush’s handling of Iraq. It took less than two months for the same number to disapprove of Trump’s handling of Iran,” noted historian and foreign policy analyst Stephen Wertheim, reacting to the poll in a social media post shared on X Sunday with his more than 33,000 followers.
