Islamabad Talks End With No Deal
Pakistani-mediated negotiations between the US and Iran, and between Islamabad and Tehran, came to an end on 12 April, with both delegations departing and no agreement reached due to what Tehran said were “excessive demands” from Washington. It was decided on Saturday evening that the talks would extend into the following morning. Following 21 hours of talks, both delegations departed the Pakistani capital on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei pointed to an “atmosphere of mistrust” after weeks of war, saying no agreement was expected in a single round and that major differences remain on at least two to three key issues.
