News Report: A marathon diplomatic effort between the United States and Iran concluded without success after nearly 21 hours of continuous discussions held in Islamabad. The talks, aimed at reducing escalating tensions in West Asia and reinforcing a fragile ceasefire, ended without any formal agreement.
According to sources, the central obstacle remained Iran’s nuclear programme, with Washington insisting on strict limitations while Tehran refused to fully comply with key demands. The disagreement ultimately prevented both sides from moving toward a final settlement.
The failure of the negotiations has raised fresh uncertainty over the already delicate ceasefire arrangement that had been in place for two weeks. Concerns are now increasing about whether the temporary calm in the region can hold.
Another major point of concern is the potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global energy route. Any instability in the region could once again disrupt international oil supply chains and impact global markets.
During the visit, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance acknowledged the hospitality extended by Pakistani leadership, praising Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir for hosting the high-level diplomatic engagement.
Despite the extended discussions, both sides left without narrowing their differences, leaving future negotiations uncertain.
