What Happened
Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said US-Iran negotiations in Islamabad on Saturday came close to agreement before US "maximalism" and shifting demands caused collapse. The talks, at highest diplomatic level in 47 years, aimed to end West Asia conflict. US Vice President JD Vance led the American delegation, including Trump's Middle East envoy. Iran objected to additional US red lines beyond nuclear non-proliferation demands.
