What Happened
US and Iranian delegations concluded 21-hour talks in Islamabad Sunday without agreement. Three major sticking points emerged: Iran's demand for sovereignty over Strait of Hormuz, US insistence on dismantling uranium enrichment, and control of maritime tolls. Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said US demands were excessive. Both sides dispersed amid distrust and deadlocks, though diplomacy remains possible.
