The US-Iran talks ended without an agreement after 21 hours of negotiations in Islamabad. The delegations from both nations departed Pakistan on Sunday, with each side blaming the other for the diplomatic breakdown. The talks were held under a fragile ceasefire, but deep-seated mistrust and disagreements over critical issues complicated the path forward. The US delegation, led by Vice President JD Vance, had proposed a framework that included a firm commitment to not develop nuclear weapons. However, Iran's delegation, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, raised 'forward-looking' initiatives but failed to gain the trust of the US delegation. The collapse of the talks marks a significant setback in US efforts to broker a diplomatic resolution to the war.
