US-Iran Peace Talks in Islamabad Fail, Stalled Over Nuclear Issue
Peace talks between the United States and Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, concluded without an agreement after a 21-hour meeting that started on Saturday (4/11/2026). US Vice President JD Vance stated that the US has not seen a fundamental commitment from Iran to refrain from developing nuclear weapons in the long term. Vance emphasized that the US had presented its final and best offer, including non-negotiable limits on nuclear weapons, but Iran chose not to accept it.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baghaei confirmed that both sides reached understandings on a number of issues, but differing views on two or three key points led to the failure of the talks. Although not detailed, the negotiations focused on the Strait of Hormuz, the nuclear issue, compensation, the lifting of sanctions, and the resolution of regional conflicts.
Iran has consistently denied any intention to develop nuclear weapons and urged the US to allow its uranium enrichment program for peaceful purposes under international supervision. This statement was made following the meeting, as reported by news sources on Sunday (4/12/2026).
