Total failure of US-Iran negotiations in Islamabad: ceasefire threatened

Direct negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad ended in failure after more than 20 hours of discussions, casting doubt on the continuation of the ongoing two-week ceasefire. Pakistan, acting as a mediator, called for the ceasefire, which is set to expire on April 22, to be maintained. US Vice President JD Vance expressed disappointment over the lack of a firm commitment from Tehran regarding its military nuclear program, while the Iranian Parliament Speaker accused Washington of failing to establish constructive dialogue.
