""The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the US... they have chosen not to accept our terms.""
""The simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon.""
""We leave here with a very simple proposal: a method of understanding that is our final and best offer... We'll see if the Iranians accept it.""
""Iran, under its 10-point negotiation plan, demanded an end to Israel's attacks against Hezbollah as part of any permanent agreement.""
The United States and Iran concluded a day of peace talks without reaching an agreement. The main issue was Iran's unwillingness to commit to not seeking nuclear weapons. U.S. negotiator Vice President J.D. Vance expressed that this was more detrimental to Iran. The talks lasted 21 hours and were the first direct engagement since 2015. Iran's demands included an end to Israeli attacks on Hezbollah and the release of $6 billion in funds. Despite the breakdown, Vance indicated a possibility for future negotiations.
