As we’ve been reporting, US and Iranian delegations met in Islamabad, Pakistan yesterday for talks aimed at ending the war. No agreement was reached after hours of discussions.
If you’re just joining us, here’s what you need to know about the talks:
- At a press conference this morning in Pakistan, US Vice President JD Vance said that, after 21 hours of talks, no agreement had been made between Tehran and Washington, suggesting that the primary sticking point was Iran’s refusal to abandon its nuclear program.
- Disagreement on “two or three key issues” prevented a deal being made, a spokesperson for Iran’s foreign ministry said, according to state broadcaster IRIB.
- Iran currently has “no plan for a next round of negotiations,” the state-affiliated Fars news agency reported, citing a source close to the negotiating team.
- Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said that his country will continue to mediate between Iran and the US after the talks concluded without a deal.
- The US failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation at the talks, according to Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, parliament speaker, and leader of the Iranian negotiators, adding that diplomacy was “another method alongside military struggle to secure the rights of the Iranian nation.”
