US-Iran Peace Talks Collapse

High-stakes trilateral negotiations hosted by Pakistan failed to produce a breakthrough in the six-week-old conflict between Washington and Tehran.

US Vice President JD Vance stated that despite substantive discussions, the Iranian delegation led by Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf rejected a 'final and best offer' that included renouncing nuclear weapons.

The deadlock leaves a fragile two-week ceasefire in jeopardy, with both nations preparing for a potential resumption of hostilities.

Regional powers including China, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar remain on high alert as the diplomatic process enters a period of deep uncertainty.
