US-Iran ceasefire talks collapse after 21 hours in Pakistan. Vice President JD Vance departed without agreement as both sides blamed each other for failed negotiations. Iran accused the US of making unreasonable demands including zero uranium enrichment and removal of 400 kilograms of uranium. The Strait of Hormuz, nuclear rights, and sanctions relief were key sticking points. Iran's foreign ministry stated the US refused legitimate demands while Washington insisted on excessive terms. The failure raises significant concerns for global energy markets given the Strait of Hormuz's critical role in oil transportation. Analysts suggest Iran is not rushing back to negotiations unless the US presents a more reasonable framework. This diplomatic setback could have substantial implications for regional stability and international trade.
