High-level peace talks between the United States and Iran have ended in Islamabad without any agreement, with Iran indicating that it has no immediate plans to continue negotiations. The outcome has raised concerns about regional stability and global markets.
US Vice President JD Vance confirmed that the American delegation was leaving Pakistan after more than 21 hours of continuous discussions failed to produce a breakthrough. The talks were focused on maintaining a ceasefire and preventing further escalation in the Middle East.
During the discussions, the United States presented its key conditions, including clear guarantees that Iran would not develop nuclear weapons. However, US officials said that Iran did not accept these terms.
On the other hand, Iranian representatives, including figures linked to Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, suggested that the United States was not willing to negotiate seriously.
Iranian media also criticized the US position, calling its demands excessive and blaming them for the failure of the talks. They further indicated that no new negotiations are planned at this time.
Following the outcome, global oil prices have remained close to $95 per barrel, reflecting market concerns over continued tensions in the region.
Despite the lack of agreement, observers say the talks were still important as they allowed direct communication between both sides. However, with no clear path forward, uncertainty around peace efforts and regional stability continues to grow.
