Nuclear standoff, Hormuz and more: Faultlines that led to the failure of US-Iran talks

The high-stakes talks between the United States (US) and Iran, which were being held in the Pakistan's capital city of Islamabad, have failed, as the two sides have not accepted each other's demands, said American President JD Vance in an early morning media briefing on Sunday. According to Vance, the US was willing to cooperate with the Iranians and presented its best offer, but it will never accept the Islamic Republic build a nuclear weapon.
