After marathon negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, between the United States and Iran aimed at ending the ongoing war in the gulf region, US Vice President JD Vance, announced there was no deal.
Vance said Iran would not commit to forgoing a nuclear weapon, while Iran’s foreign ministry told state media that disagreement over “two, or three” key issues prevented a deal.
However, while state media reported that Tehran currently has no plans for another round of negotiations, its foreign ministry spokesperson struck a less definitive tone, saying “diplomacy never comes to an end.”
The mediator, Pakistan, assured Islamabad “has been and will continue” to play its mediator role, says Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar after the talks concluded.
Meanwhile, deadly attacks in the south of the country continued overnight as the talks faltered. One of the strikes hit a house, resulting in deaths and injuries, reported state-run media.
Vance departed Pakistan on Air Force Two on Sunday, heading back home after no deal was reached with Iran to end the war, CNN reports.
Also, the Iranian delegation has also left Islamabad, state media reported.
