Vice-President JD Vance has said the US and Iran have not reached an agreement following high-stakes peace talks in Islamabad, Pakistan
Vance said Iran chose “not to accept our terms”, adding that the US needed to see a “fundamental commitment” from Tehran to not develop nuclear weapons.
Iran’s foreign ministry said the talks were “intensive”, and called on Washington to refrain from “excessive demands and unlawful requests”
There was a palpable sense of disappointment at the outcome of these talks, according to a BBC reporter in Islamabad writes
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said it “makes no difference” to him whether a deal was reached and “regardless what happens, we win.”
