The historic talks between the United States and Iran ended with no agreement. After 21 grueling hours of marathon negotiations stretching into early Sunday morning in Islamabad, Vice President JD Vance confirmed the failure: “The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States.”

The breaking point: Iran refused to accept American terms to not develop nuclear weapons. Vance said he presented Washington’s “best and final offer” before departing Islamabad immediately after a press conference lasting just 4 minutes.

🇮🇷 Iran tells a different story. Iranian media claim the U.S. was looking for “an excuse to leave” and that American demands were “excessive and unrealistic.” Iran posted on X that “negotiations will continue despite some remaining differences,” without specifying when.
