ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Vice President JD Vance said an agreement was not reached with Iran to end the six-week war that has rocked the Middle East following marathon peace talks in Pakistan.
Throughout the roughly 17 hours of talks, very few details were made available — leaving the world to speculate about what would come from the past six weeks of war.
“We have been at it now for 21 hours, and we’ve had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That’s the good news,” Vance told reporters in Islamabad.
“The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the Untied States of America. So we go back to the Untied States having not come to an agreement.”

For weeks, the two sides have been far apart on negotiations, with the Iranians demanding total sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, the right to enrich uranium, no limits on their ballistic missiles program and reparations for infrastructure damaged in the war.
While the Trump administration’s top priorities are to reopen the strait to allow oil to again flow freely crushing Iran’s nuclear enrichment program to stop it from building a nuclear bomb.
