Iran Declares Talks UnsuccessfulShortly after US Vice President JD Vance departed Pakistan, Iran signalled that the negotiations had failed to produce meaningful results. In a strongly worded statement shared via social media, Iranian officials accused Washington of pushing for concessions it had been unable to secure through military action. Iranian authorities reiterated that the waterway would remain closed until a credible and lasting ceasefire agreement is reached. Reports from Iranian media indicate that there will be no shift in this stance unless the US agrees to terms that Tehran considers fair. US Acknowledges No AgreementAddressing the media after nearly 21 hours of negotiations, Vance confirmed that no agreement had been reached.
