Iran also says Islamabad talks have ended, slams ‘excessive’ US demands

Vance says US-Iran talks have ended without a deal, negotiators will return to US
US Vice President JD Vance says negotiations have ended between the US and Iran without a peace deal after the Iranians refused to accept American terms not to develop a nuclear weapon.
Vance tells reporters in Pakistan that US officials are leaving the negotiations with Iran without a deal, planning to return to the United States.
The high-stakes talks ended after 21 hours, Vance says, with the vice president in constant communication with US President Donald Trump and others in the administration.
“But 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,” Vance tells reporters. “That is the core goal of the president of the United States. And that’s what we’ve tried to achieve through these negotiations.”
