US and Iran peace talks fail to reach deal

The United States and Iran failed to reach a peace deal following approximately 21 hours of high-stakes negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, hosted with Pakistani involvement. US Vice President JD Vance led the American delegation and stated that Iran refused to accept Washington's terms, particularly regarding a commitment not to develop nuclear weapons. Iran's side said no agreement was expected in a single session, with Iranian state media citing 'excessive demands' from the US as a key obstacle.
