Iran delegation leaves Pakistan after failed US talks Iran’s negotiating delegation has departed Pakistan following the conclusion of talks with the United States that ended without an agreement, according to Iran’s Mehr news agency. The delegation included Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The departure comes shortly after US Vice President JD Vance also left Islamabad, saying the two sides failed to reach a deal after marathon negotiations.
The talks, which lasted more than 20 hours, broke down over key disputes including Iran’s nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz. Journalists work at a media facilitation centre in Islamabad on 11 April 2026. Aamir QURESHI / AFP
