US-Iran Peace Talks Collapse

US-Iran Peace Talks Collapse

After 21 hours of marathon face-to-face discussions in Pakistan, diplomatic efforts to end the six-week war have reached a critical impasse.

The US delegation, led by Vice President JD Vance, departed Islamabad after Iran rejected what was described as a 'final and best offer' regarding nuclear commitments.

Iranian officials countered by accusing Washington of making excessive demands and failing to recognize their legitimate regional interests.

The failure to secure a deal raises immediate concerns about the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the potential for renewed military escalation.
