US EditionUS and Iran fail to reach agreement after historic peace talks in Pakistan, Vance says
Vance said Iran rejected an affirmative pledge to forgo nuclear weapons after 21 hours of talks, leaving the ceasefire and sanctions dispute unresolved.
- On Sunday, April 12, the United States and Iran concluded 21 hours of peace talks in Islamabad without reaching an agreement. Vice President JD Vance, leading the American delegation, stated that Iran refused to commit to abandoning its nuclear program.
- Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf blamed "excessive" US demands for the impasse, while Vance said the administration required an "affirmative commitment" that Tehran would not pursue nuclear weapons. Both sides departed following the unproductive session.
- The failed negotiations jeopardize a fragile two-week ceasefire intended to wind down a war that has claimed more than 5,600 lives. Pakistani mediators continue urging both sides to maintain the truce while attempting to facilitate further discussions.
- President Donald Trump, who attended a UFC event in Miami during the talks, declared, "Whether we make a deal or not makes no difference to me. The reason is because we've won," citing existing damage to Iran's military capabilities.
- The Strait of Hormuz, a critical choke point for about 20 per cent of global energy supplies, remains blocked by Tehran while the administration maintains military options to address nuclear concerns. Hundreds of tankers remain stuck in the Gulf awaiting passage.
