US-Iran peace talks collapse

High-level peace talks in Islamabad between U.S. and Iranian delegations have concluded after 21 hours without reaching a definitive agreement.

Vice President JD Vance, who led the American team, expressed disappointment that Iran would not commit to a verifiable end to its nuclear enrichment activities.

Iranian officials countered by blaming the U.S. for failing to earn their trust and presenting 'excessive' demands that ignored past diplomatic failures.

The breakdown of these historic discussions raises urgent questions about the future of the current truce, which is set to expire on April 22.
