Peace talks: Iran has rejected our terms – US VP, JD Vance

US Vice President and leader of the American delegation to the US-Iran peace negotiations, JD Vance, has shared updates regarding the discussions that have taken place so far.

He indicated that Iran has dismissed the conditions proposed by the United States.

Numerous media outlets report that neither side has made progress despite engaging in talks for over 21 hours in the capital of Pakistan.

While Iran’s foreign ministry has accused the US of imposing unreasonable demands and illegal requests, the US has stated that it has been ‘quite flexible, quite accommodating,’ yet Iran has refused to accept the terms.

“I won’t delve into all the specifics because I prefer not to negotiate in public after we have spent 21 hours negotiating privately,” the US Vice President informed reporters.

“However, the fundamental requirement is that we need to see a clear commitment from them that they will not pursue a nuclear weapon, nor will they seek the means to rapidly develop one.

“This is the primary objective of the President of the United States, and it is what we have aimed to accomplish through these negotiations.

“Once more, their nuclear program, as it stands – the enrichment facilities they previously possessed – have been dismantled.

“The essential question remains, do we observe a genuine commitment from the Iranians to refrain from developing a nuclear weapon, not just at this moment, not merely two years from now, but in the long term? We have yet to witness that. We remain hopeful that we will.”

When asked if the discussions yielded any form of framework, and whether the matter of Iranian frozen assets was addressed, Vance responded, “Certainly those topics were discussed.”

“However, we simply could not reach a point where the Iranians were prepared to accept our conditions.

“I believe we were quite flexible. We were very accommodating.

“The President instructed us to approach this with good faith and to make our utmost effort to secure a deal. We adhered to that, and regrettably, we were unable to make any progress.”

Discussions between both countries will resume on Sunday as Pakistan endeavors to facilitate a successful resolution among them.
