J. D. Vance announced during an urgent press briefing that the talks had failed to produce a mutually acceptable outcome. He stated that the lack of progress would have more serious consequences for Iran than for the United States.
According to Vance, the main point of contention was Iran’s refusal to commit to abandoning efforts to acquire a nuclear weapon—an issue he described as a key demand of Donald Trump. He also revealed that he had been in contact with Trump multiple times throughout the negotiations, along with senior defense officials, including the Secretary of Defense, the commander of United States Central Command, and members of Congress.
Vance praised Pakistan’s role in hosting and facilitating the discussions, noting efforts to bridge differences between the two sides. “We came to negotiate in good faith, but we were unable to reach an agreement acceptable to both parties,” he said.
He further claimed that Iranian nuclear facilities had been destroyed, yet Tehran did not agree to halt its nuclear program. Vance concluded by stating that the United States had presented its best possible offer during the talks.
The announcement has dampened earlier optimism fueled by reports suggesting a potential second round of negotiations, proposed by Pakistan.
Meanwhile, tensions remain high over the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump reportedly warning of possible military action to ensure its reopening. Iranian media, however, accused Washington of imposing what it described as “exaggerated” conditions, particularly regarding freedom of navigation in the region.
