The Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, announced on Sunday that discussions with the Iranian delegation in Pakistan ended without result. At the end of these talks, the American delegation left Islamabad to return to the United States without an agreement in hand. “We are leaving without an agreement, and this is bad news for Iran,” Vance declared.
According to the Vice President, the negotiations stumbled due to Tehran’s refusal to accept the conditions set by Washington. He stated that the United States had shown flexibility, while demanding a clear commitment from Iran not to seek nuclear weapons. “We came with a very simple proposal, which is our final and best offer,” he added.
On the Iranian side, the tone is different. A source close to the discussions indicated to the Tasnim agency that no changes will occur regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz until the United States present an offer deemed “reasonable.” Another source linked to the Iranian delegation accused Washington of trying to impose on the negotiation table what it failed to achieve through war.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the failure of the talks, citing differences on three major points without specifying the nature. Iranian authorities also acknowledged that the discussions were conducted in an atmosphere of mistrust and suspicion. “We did not expect to reach an agreement in just one round of negotiations,” the ministry indicated, suggesting that new discussions could still take place despite the current deadlock.
