What Happened
US Vice President JD Vance left Islamabad on Sunday after 21 hours of direct talks with Iran failed to produce a peace deal. Vance said Iran refused to commit to abandoning nuclear weapons. The US demanded Iran make a long-term commitment to not pursue nuclear weapons or enabling technology. Iran's foreign ministry rejected what it called excessive US demands. A fragile two-week ceasefire announced days earlier now faces jeopardy.
