US, Iran fail to reach peace agreement after marathon talks in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Vice President JD Vance said an agreement was not reached with Iran to end the six-week war that has rocked the Middle East following marathon peace talks in Pakistan.

Throughout the roughly 17 hours of talks, very few details were made available — leaving the world to speculate about what would come from the past six weeks of war.

• Trump announces two-week ‘double-sided ceasefire’ hours before Iran deadline — subject to Strait of Hormuz reopening
• Iran vows to take control of key Bab el-Mandeb Strait amid Trump’s chilling annihilation threat
• The secret, never-before-used CIA tool that helped find airman downed in Iran: ‘If your heart is beating, we will find you’
• Russia, China reject resolution to reopen Strait of Hormuz, as Iran’s ambassador warns of retaliation against US for ‘egregious war crimes’

For weeks, the two sides have been far apart on negotiations, with the Iranians demanding total sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, the right to enrich uranium, no limits on their ballistic missiles program and reparations for infrastructure damaged in the war.

While the Trump administration’s top priorities are to reopen the strait to allow oil to again flow freely crushing Iran’s nuclear enrichment program to stop it from building a nuclear bomb.
