US negotiators leaving without a peace deal with Iran
The sides will exchange documents after 21 hours of negotiations, with talks centered on nuclear limits, frozen assets and free passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
- On Sunday, United States Vice President JD Vance announced his negotiating team was leaving Pakistan after 21 hours of talks failed to produce a deal with Iran.
- The Islamabad talks marked the highest-level direct contact since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, with Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner meeting Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
- Vance stated, "The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement," citing Iran's refusal to accept American terms including halting nuclear weapons development and ensuring free passage through strategic waterways.
- The outcome threatens the fragile two-week ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a choke point for about 20 percent of global energy supplies that Iran has blocked since the war began.
- Iran's government noted in a post on X that technical experts would continue exchanging documents, stating, "Negotiations will continue despite some remaining differences," though no restart date was specified.
