War in the Middle East: The United States and Iran Have Not Reached an Agreement, Says Vice President AM

“I think it’s worse news for Iran than it is for the United States of America.” American Vice President J.D. Vance left the negotiations between Washington and Tehran in Islamabad, Pakistan, “without reaching an agreement”, on Sunday, April 12, after 21 hours of unprecedented talks between the two countries to find a resolution to the war that has been tearing apart the Middle East for six weeks.

J.D. Vance left the capital of Pakistan, the host and mediator of the negotiations, after a press conference shortly after 7 hours (4 hours in Paris). The American Vice President particularly lamented Iran’s lack of a “firm promise” to abandon its nuclear armament program, a demand from Donald Trump. He, who led the American delegation, did not mention the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.

“We are leaving here with a very simple proposal, an approach that embodies our final offer and the best we can do. We will see if the Iranians accept it”, J.D. Vance also stated, seemingly leaving the door open to an agreement to definitively end the war initiated on February 28 by the United States and Israel.

The Islamic Republic, on the other hand, blamed Washington for “unreasonable demands”, according to Iranian state media. “It was clear from the start that we should not expect to reach an agreement in a single negotiation session”. “No one expected it”, tempered the spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Iranian state television, mentioning “an atmosphere of suspicion and mistrust”.

“It is imperative that the parties continue to uphold their commitment to the ceasefire”, until April 22, the Pakistani Foreign Minister responded to the situation as the host country of the discussions.
