Tehran has said some progress was made, but differences with the US remain on “two or three key points”.

The US and Iranian delegations have left the marathon 21-hour talks in Islamabad without a peace deal, though a tentative ceasefire in the Gulf continues to hold.
US Vice President J.D. Vance, who led the US delegation, said Washington was “negotiating in good faith” and made its red lines “as clear as we possibly could,” but Iran has “chosen not to accept our terms.”
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the talks produced some progress on several issues, but noted that differences remain on “two or three key points.”
A source close to the Iranian delegation told Fars that Washington was “looking for an excuse” to walk away, adding that Tehran refused US conditions on the Strait of Hormuz, peaceful nuclear energy, and other core issues, and added that Iran has no plans for another round of talks.
Despite the impasse, neither side appears to be declaring the process and the ongoing ceasefire dead. Earlier reports suggests lower-level technical contacts and further diplomatic efforts may continue after the failed marathon round, even as the main sticking points remain unresolved.

And then ask yourself one question: “Do these children, women, men, a whole civilization” the thing you call fellow human beings with families just like yours, “do they deserve to be pawns in psychopathic megalomaniac pageant shows”?

The Iranians have had several useful talks which actually matter.
