Negotiations between the US and Iranian delegations in Islamabad ended early Sunday without a breakthrough after 21 hours of discussions. The talks aimed to address ongoing conflicts in West Asia but were hindered by significant distrust and deadlocks. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf stated that the US ultimately failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation. Key issues included the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's uranium enrichment program, and the release of $27 billion in frozen Iranian assets. The US has pushed for the reopening of the Strait, which Iran had effectively blocked during the conflict, while Tehran demands recognition of its sovereignty over this critical maritime route. Additionally, Iran insists on its right to maintain its uranium enrichment program, which has raised concerns in Washington. Both sides expressed readiness to continue discussions, with US Vice President JD Vance stating they left with a proposal for future understanding. The outcome of these negotiations remains uncertain as both parties navigate their complex relationship.
