US-Iran talks end without agreement.
CoinFeed reported on April 12 that, according to Jinshi News, US Vice President Vance held a press conference at the Serena Hotel in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. Vance stated that the US-Iran talks in Islamabad failed to reach an agreement, and significant differences remain between the two sides. Vance said that after approximately 21 hours of negotiations, the US and Iran still had not reached an agreement. The two sides had held several rounds of "substantive discussions," but ultimately failed to achieve results. He pointed out that the US had clearly stated its "red lines" and acceptable and unacceptable conditions, while Iran "chose not to accept these terms." Vance stated that the core reason for the failure of the US-Iran talks was that Iran had not made a clear commitment to abandoning the development of nuclear weapons. Vance pointed out that the US demanded that Iran not only refrain from developing nuclear weapons currently, but also commit to not acquiring related capabilities and technologies in the long term, but "no such clear willingness has been seen yet."
