The head of the Iranian delegation blamed the United States today for the failure of peace talks in Islamabad to reach an agreement. "My colleagues in the Iranian delegation presented visionary initiatives, but ultimately the other side failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of negotiations," wrote Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian parliament and chief negotiator, on X. He said he had emphasized before the talks that Iran had good will and the necessary determination, but lacked trust in the other side due to experiences from previous wars. Ghalibaf also thanked Pakistan for its mediation efforts. Direct talks between the U.S. and Iran ended this morning without an agreement. U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that after 21 hours of negotiations, the Iranian side had decided not to accept the U.S. terms. The U.S. stated that they had made a proposal to Iran that constituted their final offer.
