US-Iran ceasefire talks in Pakistan ended without agreement
Ceasefire negotiations between the United States and Iran concluded in Islamabad, Pakistan without reaching an agreement after 21 hours of talks. The failed negotiations raise questions about what will happen when the current two-week truce expires on April 22. Vice President JD Vance led the US delegation while Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf served as chief negotiator, with key disputes centering on Iran's nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz.
