The United States and Iran failed to reach a peace agreement after nearly 21 hours of intensive negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan. The high-level talks, aimed at ending a six-week conflict and strengthening a fragile ceasefire, ended in a stalemate due to deep disagreements over key issues like Iran’s nuclear programme and sanctions relief. US Vice President JD Vance described the discussions as “substantive” but inconclusive, noting that a final US proposal was not accepted. Iran, in response, accused the US of making excessive demands and failing to build trust. The breakdown raises concerns about renewed tensions and uncertainty over the future of the ceasefire, though further diplomatic efforts remain possible. (PC: Getty Images)
