So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.
Screen cap of reddit comment from a human-verified account, Franky-47, reading "I cannot express enough how bad this guy was here and how unprepared he was (I work for the government (Foreign Ministry) here in Pakistan). Basically the Iranians had a team of 71 people with experts (from banking sector, to health, infrastructure, agriculture, trade/commerce, as well as nuclear scientist and many others) yet Mista JD there did not even know what he was being offered to him, instead would avoid giving any final or interim answers and kept opening new chapters as in new agenda items (topics/subjects) within an expanding list of demands for the agreement for Iran to comply on. On top of that, at each agenda item (topic/subject) this guy would call Trump, Marco, and Pete for guidance and keep asking them what they thought and needed to be done?!? It was as if JD was insincere or passively trying to sabotage the deal. At the end without summarizing his final or interim answer on each old and new demand, he just got up and told them you know what we want and what we do not, then went back home in a hurry, just like that,... I say the enemies of the USA are from within not outside."
Reddit has an apparent inside account of Vance's failed negotiations and the sheer puerile idiocy of the American regime.

The first hurdle of each negotiation is to establish a modicum of trust sufficient to negotiate. Vance, Witkoff and Kushner had no apparent interest in doing this.
Trump slammed for attending a UFC fight while Vance was negotiating with Iran last night. Negotiations have failed.🤷🏾♀️
if Hungary actually flips because Vance campaigned there, it’ll be the funniest thing that’s happened since he killed the Pope
clear that there's something to read into the administration's decision to make Vance wear this, but not positive what thing to read exactly
To make BowmanHamelVance look bad while the DickTraitor can still say they negotiated and tried to end it.
I’m not trying to pick on this person, but I don’t think it’s a big deal or bad that Vance’s mom changed his surname to his stepdad’s as a child, or that he took his mom’s maiden surname as an adult. I did too.
There are a million valid things to attack him for, knock yourself out on those!
The split screen of Trump and Rubio strutting around a professional wrestling match as Vance announces he's quitting negotiations with the Iranians without any agreement would lead any observer to conclude that Trump was never serious about peace talks.
The Speaker of Iran’s Parliament, MB Ghalibaf on peace talks ending in Islamabad:
The “opposing side ultimately failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of negotiations.”
Great job, Kushner, Vance, and Witkoff.
🤦♀️
Vance’s efforts really seem to have “Pope’d” Orbán’s campaign and that Iran agreement. If you want something killed, send Vance.
Very Ukrainian accent:
"Oh Mr Vance, is it hard to negotiate peace?
Is it difficult to come to a deal when both sides have fundamentally irreconcilable positions on key issues?
Does not being able to trust your counterparty make things tricky?
Why do you hate peace, Mr Vance?"
Frankly it was a very bad idea for Vance to even. Allow Jared and Whitcoff to be in the negotiating room. That includes vance' wife. Those 3 should have not been anywhere near these negotiations! After all, Jared was bragging about how he talked donnie boy into striking Iran ... so WTF!
As Vance failed in Iran talks, at a sports event, “Mr. Trump sat and impassively watched blood and saliva sprayed out from the fighters beating each other silly in front of him.” Via NYT
After interfering in the Hungarian election on behalf of Putin puppet Orban, Vance continues Trump’s US humiliation tour in Iran negotiation debacle.
Mexico rolls out universal healthcare, Vance returns empty handed and the Washington Post says Trump deserves more credit. Apparently starting wars, kidnapping Americans and charging them more to live is insufficient for mad Donald.
The NYU contract faculty union spent 15 months negotiating our contract with the university, culminating in a week of intensive all day talks and a final 30 hour bargaining session. Vance left Pakistan after less than a day.
Trump/Vance start from mistaken viewpoint this was a just war fought legally so could never accept Irans request for an apology & reparations etc
Similarly over Ukraine Trump has never accepted that Russia is guilty of an illegal invasion
There will never be peace with a puppet in the Whitehouse
I am livid that after less than a day, Vance et al are back empty-handed. "Marathon" talks?? They didn't even sleep on it and try again! Many thousands of lives, the world economy and world hunger, and more, hang in the balance, and they stopped trying after less than a day??
What a rotten failure.
And The Ohio State University praised Vance as reflective of who they are as a university *after* Vance praised Orban's destruction of higher ed and called it a model for the U.S.
What negotiations? Vance said Iran did not accept Trump's terms. Sounds like an ultimatum not negotiations.
First, #trump did “Potemkin peace deals”—agreements that didn’t bring peace. Now he and Vance are doing “Potemkin diplomacy”—pretending to negotiate and not even doing that very well.
