Washington, US Vice President J D Vance said negotiations with Iran failed to produce an agreement after more than 20 hours of talks in Islamabad, warning that Tehran\u2019s refusal to accept Washington\u2019s terms was \u201cbad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been at it now for 21 hours, and we’ve had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That’s the good news. The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement,\u201d Vance told reporters at a press conference in the early hours of Sunday morning .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vice President said US negotiators had clearly outlined their position but Tehran declined to accept the terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’ve made very clear what our red lines are, what things we’re willing to accommodate them on, and what things we’re not willing to accommodate them on, and we’ve made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept our terms,\u201d he said .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance emphasised that the core US objective remained preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon,\u201d he said .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that Washington was seeking long-term assurances from Tehran, not temporary commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo we see a fundamental commitment of will for the Iranians not to develop a nuclear weapon, not just now, not just two years from now, but for the long term. We haven’t seen that yet. We hope that we will,\u201d Vance said .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the breakdown, the Vice President described the US approach as flexible and conducted in good faith under instructions from the President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that we were quite flexible. We were quite accommodating. The President told us, You need to come here in good faith and make your best effort to get a deal. We did that, and unfortunately, we weren’t able to make making headway,\u201d he said .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance also underlined the extensive coordination with the US leadership during the negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were talking to the president consistently. I don’t know how many times we talked to him, a half dozen times, a dozen times over the past 21 hours,\u201d he said, adding that officials remained in contact with the wider national security team throughout the talks .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He confirmed that Washington has put forward what it considers its final proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding that is Our final and best offer. We’ll see,\u201d Vance said .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The failed talks mark a setback in efforts to revive diplomatic engagement over Iran\u2019s nuclear programme, which has long been a point of contention between Washington and Tehran. Previous negotiations have stalled over verification measures, sanctions relief and the scope of Iran\u2019s enrichment activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
