‘Iran chose not to accept our terms’: As Vance leaves Islamabad, key takeaways from his speech
Indian Express·3h ago·Neutral
What Happened
US Vice President JD Vance left Islamabad after 21 hours of unsuccessful talks with Iranian officials. Iran rejected US terms on three key issues: Strait of Hormuz reopening, uranium stockpile fate, and release of $27 billion frozen revenues. This marked the first high-level direct contact between the countries since 1979. Tensions remain high following US strikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei six weeks ago.
