US-Iran talks in Islamabad did not yield the expected result

Negotiations between representatives of the US and Iran held in the city of Islamabad have concluded. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

However, the lengthy discussions did not yield the expected results, and the parties were unable to reach any agreement. According to international news agencies, these meetings, which lasted twenty-one hours, were organized with the aim of stopping military actions in the region and ensuring stable peace.

Vice President JD Vance, who led the United States delegation, confirmed in a conversation with journalists after the negotiations that the opportunity for an agreement had been missed. According to Vance, this situation could lead to serious consequences, especially for the Iranian side.

The Vice President emphasized that Washington had previously defined its strict demands and red lines, stating that Tehran rejected the conditions set regarding the abandonment of nuclear weapons development. Following this statement, the American delegation left Pakistani territory.

The main contradictions between the parties arose over Iran's nuclear program and issues of control over the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. Tehran demanded full control over this area, the receipt of war reparations, and the implementation of a regional truce.

The US, meanwhile, emphasizes the necessity of ensuring the free movement of ships in this corridor, which is critical for global energy supply. A representative of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that it is difficult to solve global problems in a single meeting and hinted that negotiations should continue.

In the current situation, the previously reached two-week ceasefire agreement remains in force. At the same time, hundreds of oil tankers have accumulated around the Strait of Hormuz, and uncertainty persists on international trade routes.

The atmosphere of mistrust between the parties is further complicating the situation in the region.
