"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, Vice President JD Vance said after the discussions."
"It is time for the United States to decide whether it can gain our trust, stated Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Iran's parliamentary speaker and head of its delegation."
"Excessive US demands had blocked progress, according to Iran's Tasnim news agency, while other outlets noted consensus on several issues but deep divisions remained."
"Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar urged both sides to preserve the ceasefire agreed to on Tuesday, calling it imperative for continued efforts."
Peace talks in Islamabad failed to produce a deal to end the war following US-Israeli attacks on Iran. US officials cited Iran's refusal to abandon its nuclear program as the reason for the breakdown. Iranian leaders blamed the US for the failure, emphasizing the need for trust. The meeting was the first direct engagement in over a decade, following a ceasefire. Disagreements over nuclear issues and demands from the US hindered progress, leading to a US Navy blockade announcement by President Trump.
