Iran accuses the USA of "lack of political will" after the failed negotiations in Pakistan.

The Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, stated that the United States is responsible for the failure of the recent round of peace talks in Islamabad, citing excessive demands and a lack of political will from American officials. In a phone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, Pezeshkian emphasized that, despite agreements at the expert level, these obstacles have prevented reaching an agreement. Direct discussions between the US and Iran, mediated by Pakistan, ended without concrete results. American Vice President JD Vance stated that the responsibility for reaching an agreement lies with Iran, suggesting the continuation of contacts between the two parties.

Stock markets reacted positively, and oil prices fell, fueling hopes for an agreement that would stabilize the region. Donald Trump stated that Iran would like an agreement with the US, while Washington insists on the removal of enriched uranium from Iran to prevent the development of a nuclear weapon.
