US Vice President J.D. Vance announced that after 21 hours of continuous negotiations, the United States and Iran failed to reach any agreement. Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad on Sunday morning, Vance said the US plans to leave Pakistan without a deal, describing the outcome as bad news. He expressed gratitude to Pakistan’s prime minister and field marshal for their significant role in facilitating the discussions.

According to Vance, the United States had clearly presented its key conditions to Iran, but Tehran did not accept them. Responding to questions about Iran’s nuclear program, he claimed that the country’s nuclear capability had been destroyed, though he emphasized the need for stronger assurances to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons in the future.

Al Jazeera reported that Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghai rejected the US demands as excessive and illegal, asserting that the success of the talks depended on recognition of Iran’s legitimate rights and interests.
