U.S.–Iran Talks in Pakistan Collapse With No Deal

Washington says Tehran refused a long‑term nuclear‑weapons pledge, leaving a fragile ceasefire in doubt.

Overview

  • Vice President J.D. Vance said Sunday the Islamabad talks ended without an agreement after roughly 21 hours of bargaining.
  • U.S. officials said Iran would not make a formal, long‑term commitment never to seek a nuclear weapon.
  • Iranian state media said the talks failed because U.S. demands were unreasonable.
  • CENTCOM said two U.S. destroyers crossed the Strait of Hormuz to set conditions for demining, a move tied to efforts to reopen the vital oil waterway.
  • Fighting in south Lebanon continued despite the truce, with officials reporting more than 2,000 deaths since March 2 and U.S.-brokered IsraelLebanon talks set for Tuesday in Washington.
