U.S.-Iran Talks Collapse After 21-Hour Marathon

A historic diplomatic meeting between the United States and Iran has ended without a deal. U.S. Vice President JD Vance led the unprecedented talks in Islamabad. Negotiations lasted for 21 hours. The two sides could not agree on key demands. The discussions were the first high-level, direct meeting between the nations in years. The failure to reach an agreement is a major setback. It leaves ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran unresolved. No further meetings have been announced. Officials from both countries have returned home.
