US vice president cited shortcomings in the talks, saying Iran had chosen not to accept American terms, including to not build nuclear weapons

US vice president JD Vance said on Sunday that his negotiating team was leaving Pakistan after not reaching a deal with Iran after a marathon 21 hours of negotiations.

Vance cited shortcomings in the talks and said Iran had chosen not to accept American terms, including to not build nuclear weapons.

“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,” Vance said.

“So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. We’ve made very clear what our red lines are.“
