The recent US-Iran ceasefire talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, concluded without an agreement after 21 hours of negotiations. US Vice President J D Vance stated that while substantive discussions occurred, the two sides could not reach a consensus, labeling the outcome as unfavorable for Iran. Vance highlighted that the US had clearly outlined its 'red lines' and conditions, which Iran did not accept. In contrast, Iranian state media attributed the failure to the US's 'unreasonable demands,' claiming that their delegation worked intensively to protect Iran's national interests. The talks were part of ongoing efforts to address the aftermath of a month-long conflict that has resulted in thousands of casualties. Despite the setback, some technical discussions may continue, indicating a possibility for future negotiations.
