U.S.–Iran Talks End Without Agreement
U.S. Vice President JD Vance announced that negotiations between the United States and Iran held in Pakistan ended without an agreement. Vance stated that despite approximately 21 hours of discussions, the parties failed to reach a compromise and that the U.S. delegation is preparing to leave Pakistan.
Vance said the U.S. participated in the talks with a “flexible” and “good faith” approach, but Iran did not accept the conditions presented by Washington. He emphasized that U.S. “red lines” were clearly communicated, yet no progress was achieved.
He added that the U.S. left the table with what it described as a “final and best offer,” noting that it remains uncertain whether Iran will accept the proposal.
Addressing expectations regarding Iran’s nuclear program, Vance stated that the U.S. seeks a firm commitment from Iran not to acquire nuclear weapons or take steps that would enable it to rapidly develop such capabilities. He noted that this objective remains a top priority for U.S. President Donald Trump.
