The United Kingdom and Australia have voiced deep disappointment after peace talks between the United States and Iran in Islamabad ended without any agreement. Senior ministers from both countries described the outcome as unfortunate and urged both sides to return to the negotiating table. The discussions, aimed at resolving a 44-day-long conflict, concluded without progress despite Pakistan’s mediation efforts.

British Health Minister Wes Streeting told Sky News that the breakdown of talks was disappointing, as hopes were high for a sustainable resolution to Iran’s ongoing war. He maintained that diplomatic efforts must continue despite setbacks. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong also expressed dissatisfaction, emphasizing that maintaining the ceasefire and resuming dialogue should remain top priorities.

The failure of the talks has heightened global concern amid volatile energy prices and worsening humanitarian conditions. Major powers are reportedly hoping for a lasting ceasefire to stabilize the situation.
