Iran turns down fresh peace talks with US, blames Washington’s ‘unrealistic expectations’

What Happened

Iran rejected a second round of peace talks with the United States, citing excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, and shifting positions from Washington. The decision follows US President Trump's announcement that Vice President JD Vance would lead negotiations in Islamabad. Tensions escalated as Trump threatened infrastructure strikes if Iran refuses a reasonable deal. The two-week ceasefire expires Wednesday.
