US and Iran fail to reach agreement after historic peace talks in Pakistan, Vance says

Iran refused to accept U.S. demands to forgo a nuclear weapon, and the 21-hour переговоры ended with no deal, Vance said.

  • On Sunday, April 12, 2026, U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf concluded 21 hours of peace negotiations in Islamabad without reaching an agreement, leaving the fragile ceasefire unresolved.
  • Vance stated Iran refused to provide an "affirmative commitment" not to seek nuclear weapons, a core U.S. demand. Iran countered by demanding war reparations and release of frozen assets held abroad.
  • The Strait of Hormuz, responsible for roughly 20% of global oil shipments, remained a critical sticking point. U.S. Central Command reported destroyers transited the waterway for mine-clearing; Iranian state media denied the transit.
  • President Donald Trump claimed military victory "regardless of what happens" in the talks, while the two-week ceasefire faces heightened risk as it approaches expiration on April 21.
  • The failed negotiations leave the administration facing difficult choices: pursuing lengthy diplomacy or risking renewed hostilities that could worsen global energy disruptions and reignite regional conflict.
