In a significant round of peace negotiations held in Islamabad, Pakistan, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf expressed that the United States 'failed' to win Iran's trust. The talks, which were the first high-level engagement since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, ended without a resolution, casting doubt on the effectiveness of a recent two-week ceasefire. Ghalibaf noted that while Iran presented 'forward-looking initiatives,' the US delegation did not demonstrate sufficient good faith. He emphasized Iran's commitment to a dual approach of military strength and diplomacy to protect its national rights. US Vice President JD Vance, leading the American delegation, acknowledged that the failure to reach an agreement was partly due to Iran's reluctance to abandon its nuclear program. The negotiations were brokered by Pakistan and followed a six-day ceasefire, highlighting ongoing tensions in the region, particularly regarding Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz and the presence of US forces in West Asia.
