Marathon Iran Talks End With "Bad News": No Deal

U.S. Vice-President J.D. Vance announced that high-stakes negotiations with Iran have failed. He spoke at a press conference in Islamabad, Pakistan, following 21 hours of talks. “We’ve had a number of substantive discussions. That’s the good news,” Vance stated. “[The] bad news is that we have not reached an agreement.” He called the failure to secure a deal damaging for both nations. “I think that’s bad news for Iran,” Vance said. “Much more than that, it’s bad news for the United States.” The talks involved a senior Iranian delegation. No details were provided on the specific issues discussed or if further meetings are planned.
