US-Iran talks without results, Vance after the launch: We made it clear what our red lines are.

Diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran have failed to produce an agreement to end the conflict in the Middle East, despite 21 hours of negotiations held in Islamabad.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance announced that he was on his way to Washington after presenting, as he said, the final and best <x0fferate” that could offer representatives of Tehran, but without reaching a common language.

“We will return to the United States without a” deal, Mr. Vance said during a short press conference in Islamabad, where Americans and Iranians negotiated from Saturday to the early hours of this morning, for 21 hours, as he explained. “I think it's bad news for Iran more than for the United States” that negotiations ended without an agreement, he added.

He specifically criticised the fact that he did not receive a clear <x0.251> from Tehran to abandon Iran's nuclear energy programme, as US President Donald Trump requested, which started fighting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on February 28th that cost him thousands of lives and set the global economy on fire.

We're leaving after we've submitted a very simple proposal, an approach that is our final offer and the best we could do. We will see whether Iranians will choose to accept our terms or not”, Mr. added. Vance, stressing that “n made our red lines extremely clear”.

Tehran, in turn, confirmed the conclusion of the negotiations, attributing their failure to “unreasonable requests” from the United States, according to a report broadcast by Iranian state television IRIB.

It was clear that we should not expect to reach an agreement only in a session. No one expected this”, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said of Iranian state television.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei also said it was “convinced that our contacts with Pakistan, as well as with other friends in the region, will continue”.

Talks between the two countries, mediated by Pakistan, were held at an unprecedented level since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979.

After announcing a two-week ceasefire Wednesday, they intended to find an agreement on a permanent ceasefire.

On the American side, Vice President Vance was accompanied by Steve Witkoff, a special envoy of the White House, and Jared Kouchner, groom and associate of President Trump. Iran was represented in particular by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bayer Ghalibach, an influential politician, and Foreign Minister Abbas Arghchi. The delegation had about 70 members.

Before announcing the failure and interruption of negotiations, Iranian diplomatic spokesman Esmail Baghaei stressed that the talks concerned “components of various issues under negotiations, including Hormuz Strait, the nuclear programme, the removal of sanctions and the final outcome of the fight against Iran and the region”.

US Vice President Vance implied that Washington would give Iran little time to examine the US “ferent”.

No “official implementation” from Iran

The fact is that we just need a formal commitment from them that they will not seek to provide nuclear weapons and that they will not seek to provide the means to build them quickly”, J.D. insisted. Vance.

“The query is simple: Will we see a formal commitment by Iranians that they will not develop nuclear weapons today, not just in the years to come, but in the long term? We haven't seen him yet. We hope to see”, the US vice president insisted.

Mr. Vance placed Iran's nuclear programme at the centre of his explanation why the talks failed, not to mention the Hormuz Strait issue at the press conference.

This strategic waterway in the Persian Gulf, which is of great importance to global hydrocarbon supply, has been shut down since the U.S.-Israel War against Iran, with serious side effects on the global economy of shortages, price hikes...

The U.S. Army announced yesterday that two of its destroyers had entered the Hormuz Strait for preparation operations before removal of established naval mines. “We are clearing the strait”, US President Trump said at a press conference.

Revolutionary Guard, the ideological army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, announced it would take tough “ ” against any warship trying to cross the Hormuz Strait.

“does not matter to me whether or not an agreement is reached with Iran”, US President Trump said yesterday about the press, while negotiations were still under way in Pakistan. “We beat them militarily” and anyway, “The US have won”, he noted.

Within six weeks, the Middle East war has claimed the lives of thousands, the vast majority of them in Iran and Lebanon.

After entering into force of the ceasefire, Israel argued that Lebanon, where it continues to fight the Shiite Hezbollah movement near Tehran, was not included in the deal.

Lebanese authorities announced yesterday they now number 2,020 dead and 6,436 injured since the war spread to the country on March 2nd.

Yesterday, Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon killed 18 people, according to the Health Ministry. For its part, the Israeli Army announced yesterday that it had hit more than “,200 of Hezbollah targets” in the last 24 hours.

On Wednesday, Israel launched the most serious and bloody shellings of war in Lebanon, killing 357 people within a few hours, according to the latest official count.

According to the Lebanese presidency, talks will be held with Israel at the State Department on Tuesday. Hezbollah has rejected them.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyah said yesterday that his goal is to ensure a peace that will last “for generations”. / T CH
