High-stakes peace negotiations between the United States and Iran have ended without an agreement, marking a significant setback in efforts to ease rising tensions in the Middle East. The talks, held in Islamabad and mediated by Pakistan, lasted nearly 21 hours and involved direct discussions between senior officials from both sides.
At a press briefing, US Vice President JD Vance says, “…The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. I think that is bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the USA. So, we go back to the US having not come to an agreement…they have chosen not to accept our terms.”
“…Whatever shortcomings in the negotiation, it wasn’t because of the Pakistanis who did an amazing job and really tried to help us and Iranians bridge the gap and get to a deal. We have been at it now for 21 hours and we have had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That’s the good news. The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. I think that is bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the USA. So, we go back to the US having not come to an agreement…they have chosen not to accept our terms.”
