ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AFP): US Vice President JD Vance says talks with Iran failed to reach an agreement, saying he was leaving after putting forward a "final and best offer". "We leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We'll see if the Iranians accept it," Vance told reporters after 21 hours of talks in the Pakistani capital Islamabad on Sunday (April 12). "The simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon," Vance said. The president told us, you need to come here in good faith and make your best effort to get a deal.
