Talks between the United States and Iran in Pakistan ended without an agreement, Vice President JD Vance said.
“We are returning to the United States because no agreement was reached,” he said, adding that this was “bad news” primarily for Iran.
According to him, Washington had “made very clear” its “red lines” and conditions, but the Iranian side “chose not to accept” them.
Tehran confirmed that the meeting had ended without any agreements. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said the sides intended to exchange documents later at the level of technical experts.
He stressed that this did not mean a breakdown in dialogue: the prospects for diplomacy, he said, depend on “the seriousness of the other side’s intentions” and its willingness to abandon “excessive and unacceptable demands.”
Iranian authorities also said in an official statement that the negotiating process would continue.
