US-Iran Peace Talks in Pakistan End Without Agreement Amid Nuclear Dispute
Vice President JD Vance announced that the United States and Iran failed to reach a peace agreement after extensive negotiations in Pakistan aimed at ending a six-week conflict in the Middle East. The talks, which lasted 21 hours, were unable to resolve key issues, particularly Iran's nuclear ambitions. The U.S. delegation, led by Vance, sought an 'affirmative commitment' from Iran to halt its nuclear weapons development, a demand that Iran refused. The negotiations also addressed other contentious points, such as Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz and its ballistic missile program. Despite the lack of agreement, Vance emphasized that the U.S. had made a 'best effort' to negotiate in good faith, as directed by President Trump.
