After 21 hours of discussions in Islamabad, US and Iranian negotiators failed to reach a peace deal aimed at resolving ongoing tensions. The talks, which marked the first direct engagement between the two nations since 1979, ended without an agreement due to key issues such as Iran’s nuclear stockpile and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. US negotiator JD Vance acknowledged the lack of progress, signaling that no further discussions are currently planned, although both sides expressed a desire to continue diplomatic efforts. The outcome has left many Iranians disappointed, and the future of US-Iran relations remains uncertain as both nations grapple with deep-seated mistrust.
