ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN — High-stakes peace talks between the United States and Iran ended without an agreement Sunday after more than 20 hours of negotiations aimed at extending a fragile ceasefire.
According to Associated Press, Vice President JD Vance said Iran refused to provide a firm commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons, a key U.S. demand. Iranian officials, meanwhile, blamed what they described as excessive U.S. conditions and declined to reopen the Strait of Hormuz before a broader deal.
The talks in Pakistan were intended to stabilize a temporary ceasefire following a six-week conflict that has disrupted global energy markets and raised concerns about wider regional escalation. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has contributed to volatility in oil supplies and prices.
Following the breakdown, the U.S. delegation departed Islamabad, while military operations continued in the region, including mine-clearing efforts in key shipping lanes.
Officials warned that the ceasefire remains uncertain, with the possibility of renewed military action if negotiations do not resume. The outcome leaves tensions high as both sides weigh next steps in the conflict.
