After failure of US-Iran peace talks in Islamabad, picking up the pieces
Indian Express·1h ago·Neutral
What Happened
US-Iran peace negotiations in Islamabad failed after a 20-hour session. The US demanded Iran's nuclear programme rollback, end to proxy support, and Strait of Hormuz reopening. Iran sought sanctions relief, war compensation, and regional authority recognition. Both sides prioritized signaling resolve over compromise. No ceasefire extension or follow-up talks were agreed. India faces economic concerns and must ensure Strait of Hormuz access.
