⁠The United States and Iran have failed to reach an ⁠⁠agreement to end their war permanently despite lengthy talks that concluded on Sunday in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, jeopardising a fragile ceasefire.

On Sunday, each side blamed the other for the failure of the 21-hour-long negotiations to end fighting that has killed thousands, most of them in Iran, and sent global oil and gas prices soaring since it began over six weeks ago.

“The bad news ⁠⁠is that we have not reached an agreement, and I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America,” Vice President JD Vance, the head of the US delegation, told reporters shortly before he left Islamabad.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Islamabad would continue to facilitate peace talks between the two longtime foes.
