United States Vice President JD Vance has announced that marathon face-to-face negotiations with Iran concluded after 21 hours with no agreement, calling the outcome “much more than bad news” for Tehran.
“We’ve been at it now for 21 hours, and we have had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That’s good news,” Vance said.
“The bad is that we haven’t reached an agreement. They have chosen not to accept our terms,” he added.
The talks, held under a fragile ceasefire in the US-Iran conflict, focused on Iran’s nuclear program.
Vance stressed the US laid out clear “red lines” and accommodations, but Iran rejected the final offer.
The stalemate raises fears of escalation in the Middle East, with potential impacts on global oil prices and regional stability.
