Vance says Islamabad talks with Iran ended after 21 hours without an agreement

Vice President JD Vance told reporters the talks had ended without a deal because Iran would not give an “affirmative commitment” not to seek a nuclear weapon or the tools to build one quickly, and said the U.S. left a “final and best offer.” Iranian state broadcaster IRIB blamed “unreasonable demands” by the U.S.; Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi later said the sides had been “inches away” from an “Islamabad MoU.”
