Iran has issued a strong warning to the United States after high-stakes negotiations in Islamabad ended without any agreement. Iranian officials accused Washington of making “excessive demands” and “unlawful requests,” urging respect for Iran’s rights and interests. The marathon talks, which lasted around 21 hours, focused on key issues such as Iran’s nuclear programme, sanctions relief, and control of the Strait of Hormuz. However, deep mistrust and unresolved disagreements led to a collapse in discussions. US Vice President JD Vance returned empty-handed, with both sides blaming each other, raising concerns over the fragile ceasefire and future diplomatic efforts. (PC: X)
