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

The U.S. said Iran refused its terms, including a firm pledge not to seek a nuclear weapon, after 21 hours of negotiations.

  • On Sunday, U.S. Vice President JD Vance announced peace talks in Islamabad concluded without agreement after Iran refused to provide an 'affirmative commitment' against developing nuclear weapons.
  • Negotiators met in Pakistan to extend a fragile two-week ceasefire amid a six-week war that killed thousands and disrupted global energy markets by closing the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Vice President Vance cited lack of 'affirmative commitment' on nuclear weapons, while Iranian state media blamed 'excessive U.S. demands' and said Tehran would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz before a final deal.
  • Following the breakdown, the U.S. delegation departed Pakistan while military forces proceeded with mine-clearing operations in the Strait of Hormuz, despite Iranian military denials that U.S. vessels entered the waterway.
  • Deep uncertainty now surrounds the two-week ceasefire, with the U.S. potentially resuming strikes paused earlier this month if negotiations do not restart, risking renewed conflict and global energy disruption.
