Why did US-Iran talks fail?
In this important meeting that lasted for about 21 hours in Islamabad, many issues were discussed between the two countries, but no common path could be reached. The biggest dispute between the United States and Iran was regarding the “nuclear program”. JD Vance said that America had kept its conditions completely clear, but Iran did not accept them. This was the reason that the conversation ended inconclusively.
JD Vance; No US Iran deal after 21 hours of talks. Says it’s worse for Iran than US & blames Tehran for rejecting terms. So, we go back to the US having not come to an agreement.
