Three main issues have prevented the United States and Iran from reaching an agreement during negotiations held in Islamabad. These are control of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's enriched uranium reserves, and frozen funds abroad.
This is reported by the New York Times, citing two Iranian officials who, according to the newspaper, have direct knowledge of the talks.
According to these sources, the American delegation, led by Vice President James David Vance, has demanded the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic. However, the Iranian side has refused to give up this strategic instrument without a final peace agreement.
Another sticking point remains the nuclear program. The United States is demanding that Iran hand over or sell its entire stockpile of 408 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, but no compromise has reportedly been reached on this issue.
Tehran's demand for the release of some $27 billion frozen abroad also remains unresolved. In addition, Iran has also demanded compensation for damage caused by the bombings, demands that have been rejected by Washington.
US Vice President JD Vance has stated that the United States and Iran have not reached an agreement following a round of peace talks held in Islamabad, Pakistan.
After 21 hours of negotiations, Vance said that the American side has presented a final offer.
"We leave here with a very simple proposal, a way of understanding that this is our final and best offer. We'll see if the Iranians accept it," he said.
According to him, Iran has chosen not to accept the conditions imposed by the US, emphasizing that Washington requires a clear commitment from Tehran not to develop nuclear weapons, which it considers the main objective of the Trump administration.
"The simple fact is that we need to see a clear commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon and will not seek the means that would enable them to quickly obtain one. We have not seen that yet. We hope we will see it," Vance said.
After the talks concluded, he left Islamabad on the official Air Force 2 plane, returning to Washington.
On the other hand, Iran's Foreign Ministry described the talks as "intensive" and called on the US to avoid "excessive demands", demanding respect for "Iran's legitimate rights and interests".
Earlier, US President Donald Trump declared that it "makes no difference" to him whether a deal is reached, adding that "no matter what happens, we win."
In a parallel development in the region, Israel continues its attacks on Hezbollah targets, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed his desire for a long-term peace agreement with Lebanon, emphasizing that the campaign against Iran is not yet over.
