US ‘failed to gain the trust’ of Iranian officials in ceasefire talks: Parliament leader

Iran said Washington’s approach lacked goodwill as the 21-hour talks ended without a deal, with both sides still divided on nuclear rights and sanctions relief.

  • Negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad ended without an agreement, with Vice President JD Vance stating Tehran rejected Washington's terms, which Iranian state media labeled "unreasonable."
  • The high-stakes 21-hour meeting unfolded in Islamabad with both sides exhibiting intense mistrust, as Iranian delegation head Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf cited lack of confidence stemming from previous wars.
  • Iranian demands include unfreezing sanctioned assets and ending Israel's war in Lebanon, which has killed over 2,000 people, while the Strait of Hormuz remains a significant friction point.
  • Ghalibaf vowed the delegation "will not for a moment cease" efforts to consolidate achievements, stating, "America has understood our logic and principles, and now it's time for it to decide whether it can earn our trust or not."
  • Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon on Saturday killed 18 people, bringing the death toll from Israel's operations to over 2,000, while Israel and Lebanon are scheduled to hold separate talks in Washington next week.
