US-Iran Peace Talks Collapse

The most significant diplomatic encounter between the United States and Iran since 1979 concluded without a breakthrough in Islamabad.

Vice President JD Vance stated that the Iranian delegation rejected Washington's 'final and best offer,' specifically refusing to renounce nuclear weapons development.

Key sticking points included the control of the Strait of Hormuz and the status of Iran's uranium stockpiles.

The failure of these talks leaves a fragile two-week ceasefire in limbo and raises fears of renewed military escalation.
