21 hours of negotiations for nothing. The historic talks between the United States and Iran collapsed and Tehran responded with its most hostile message since the war began: “The vile, evil, and dishonest American enemy tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not accomplish through war.”

Vance confirmed it in a press conference lasting just 4 minutes before leaving Islamabad: “The bad news is we have not reached an agreement. I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than for us.” He said the U.S. presented its “best and final offer” and the breaking point was Iran’s refusal to commit to not developing nuclear weapons.

🇮🇷 Iran tells it the other way around. Iranian media claim Washington was looking for “an excuse to leave” and that American demands were “excessive and unrealistic.” Tasnim called it the failure of the “last chance.”
