US and Iran have not reached an agreement to end war, - Vance
The US and Iran have failed to agree on a long-term ceasefire.
This was stated by US Vice-President J.D. Vance at a press conference in Islamabad, reports Censor.NET, citing CNN.
There is good news and bad news
"The talks lasted 21 hours, and we held a series of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That is the good news. However, the bad news is that we did not reach an agreement," said Vance.
He added that he considers this "significantly worse news for Iran than for the US". "So we are returning to the States without a deal," the Vice-President stated.
According to Vance, the Iranian negotiators refused to agree to the US’s "very flexible" demands.
"We were understanding. The President instructed us to engage in the talks in good faith and make the best possible offer to reach an agreement. We did so, but unfortunately, we were unable to make progress," he noted.
