After 21 hours of negotiations, Vice-President JD Vance announced that the US and Iran had failed to reach an agreement following peace talks in Pakistan.
The delegations met in Islamabad, Pakistan during a temporary ceasefire.
Vance said the US “could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms”. Halting Iran’s nuclear capabilities had been a “core goal” that wasn’t reached.
Iran’s foreign ministry says the talks were “intensive”, and called on Washington to refrain from “excessive demands and unlawful requests”.
