Talks between the United States and Iran have ended without any agreement, according to reports on April 12, 2026. US Vice President JD Vance confirmed that the American delegation is returning home without a deal. A source close to the Iranian delegation claimed that the United States tried to secure through negotiations what it could not achieve on the battlefield.

The source stated that Iran refused to accept Washington’s ambitious conditions related to the Strait of Hormuz, its peaceful nuclear energy program, and several other matters. According to Al Jazeera and Iran’s Fars news agency, the outcome of any future agreement depends on whether the United States changes what Tehran described as its “unreasonable demands.” The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the unresolved key issues.

Both sides have reportedly blamed each other for the failure of the talks, while the Iranian delegation has already left Pakistan, where the discussions took place.
