"The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the U.S.... they have chosen not to accept our terms."
"The simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon."
"We leave here with a very simple proposal: a method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We'll see if the Iranians accept it."
"Pakistan... will continue to play a role in peace efforts. Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar urged both sides to continue to uphold the ceasefire."
The United States and Iran concluded a day of peace talks without reaching an agreement. U.S. negotiator Vice President J.D. Vance stated that Iran's refusal to accept terms was detrimental to them. The main issue was Iran's commitment to not pursue nuclear weapons. Iran claimed some understanding was reached but did not finalize an agreement. The status of a two-week ceasefire remains uncertain, though Vance suggested a final proposal could still be accepted. Pakistan, hosting the talks, aims to continue mediating efforts.
