Chaos engulfs war talks as Trump admin can't identify 'who's in charge': CNN reporter

CNN's Kristen Holmes reported on Tuesday that President Donald Trump's administration is wading through chaos in its efforts to end the war in Iran because it is struggling to identify who is leading the talks for the Iranian regime. Trump and the Iranians have been negotiating a settlement to the war since agreeing to a ceasefire earlier this month. Last week, Trump dispatched a delegation led by Vice President JD Vance to Pakistan to negotiate an end to the war, but the delegation came back empty-handed. Holmes reported that it seemed likely the U.S. delegation could meet the same fate this week if they can't identify Iran's lead negotiator. "We're hearing there were varied proposals coming back from the Iranians, and there was a lot of confusion as to who is actually in charge and if the delegation that they were working with had any authority to make a deal," Holmes told Erin Burnett on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront." "Now, this has been an ongoing issue," she added. "I'll remind you, we reported on this before they even went to the first round of negotiations. And then, after the second round of negotiations, Vice President JD Vance said they didn't know that the people they were talking to actually had that authority. It seems pretty clear now that the White House is saying they're just not sure who is in charge in Iran."
