US, Iran fail to reach peace agreement after marathon talks in Pakistan
JD Vance said the US and Iran failed to strike a peace deal after 21 hours of negotiations in Pakistan. Vance told reporters in Islamabad, "The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement." He added, "And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America. They have chosen not to accept our terms. So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement."
The major sticking point was Iran's refusal to agree to not develop a nuclear weapon. The US wanted an "affirmative commitment" on the issue. The Iranian's posted on X that they "will not forgive the heinous crimes" committed by the US and the "Zionist regime," referring to Israel. They added, "We have not forgotten and will not forget the experience of America's breaches of promise and malicious acts." The Iranian's said discussions included the Strait of Hormuz, war reparations, the lifting of sanctions, a complete end to the war, and "the nuclear issue." The war has been rocking the Middle East for the past six weeks.
It remains unclear whether fighting in the Middle East, which began on Feb. 28, will resume. Vance ignored questions about whether the two-week cease-fire is over and the war is back on.
