The collapse of the US-Iran talks comes at a fragile moment as a two-week ceasefire brokered earlier this month is now under renewed strain with just nine days left
On Sunday, after 21 hours of talks in Islamabad produced no agreement with Iran, US Vice-President JD Vance invoked the phrase on Donald Trump's behalf.
Donald Trump claimed the Iranians want money and nuclear weapons, but the US armed forces are "locked and loaded" to finish "the little that is left of Iran".
"Vladimir Putin emphasised his readiness to further facilitate the search for a political and diplomatic settlement to the conflict," the Kremlin said in its readout of the call.
