Vice-President JD Vance says the US and Iran have not reached an agreement following high-stakes peace talks in Islamabad, Pakistan
Vance says Iran chose “not to accept our terms”, adding that the US needs to see a “fundamental commitment” from Tehran to not develop nuclear weapons – here’s what else he said before leaving Pakistan
Iran’s foreign ministry says the talks were “intensive”, and called on Washington to refrain from “excessive demands and unlawful requests”
There was a palpable sense of disappointment at the outcome of these talks, our correspondent in Islamabad writes
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said it “makes no difference” to him whether a deal is reached and “regardless what happens, we win”
As Israel continues to strike Hezbollah targets, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he wants a peace deal with Lebanon that “will last” – he adds that Israel’s campaign against Iran is “not yet finished”. Hopes always there in such a crucial talk.
