The Iranian negotiating team has steadfastly emphasized the preservation of the gains made on the battlefield.
The Americans intended to use the negotiating room to secure concessions they failed to obtain through the war on Iran, such as issues reopening of Hormuz Strait and the removal of enriched uranium from the country.
The Iranian team made various initiatives to steer the American side toward reaching a common framework, but the Americans' excessive attitude hindered their rationality and realism, ultimately preventing an agreement.
Spokesman of Iran Foreign Ministry Esmaeil Baghaei said that there were significant gaps in views on two or three important issues, ultimately resulting in no agreement.
“These discussions occurred after 40 days of ongoing conflict and were characterized by a climate of mistrust and suspicion. Given this context, it was reasonable to expect that we would not achieve an agreement in just one session,” he noted.
Yet, J.D. Vance, the head of the American negotiating team attempted to portray Iran as the party responsible for the prolonged negotiation process, while what has disrupted this process thus far is solely the excessive demands of the American side.
So far, it has been the Zionist regime—America's regional ally—that has repeatedly violated ceasefires; as recently as last night, they contaminated the southern regions of Lebanon with phosphorus bombs.
Islamabad, as the mediator, says it continues efforts to bring the two sides closer for an agreement is reached.
