"The talks, the highest-level direct engagement between Washington and Tehran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, faltered over differences surrounding Iran's nuclear programme."
"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, said US Vice President JD Vance."
"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, Vance said."
Negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad concluded after over 12 hours without reaching an agreement. The fragile two-week ceasefire remains the only barrier to renewed conflict. Pakistan's role as a mediator was affirmed, but officials recognize the challenge of resuming talks. The discussions faltered primarily over Iran's nuclear program, with US officials demanding assurances against nuclear weapon development. Despite the lack of agreement, a proposal for future talks was presented, leaving the possibility for continued dialogue open.
