The latest round of indirect talks between the United States and Iran in Pakistan\u2019s capital ended without a deal.

US media reported that the American delegation led by Vice President JD Vance left Pakistan at around 7 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n
Vance was accompanied by US President Donald Trump\u2019s Middle East Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump\u2019s son-in-law and former senior adviser Jared Kushner. The delegation was reported to have departed aboard Air Force 2.<\/p>\n
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei also commented to Iranian media on the indirect US-Iran talks held in Islamabad.<\/p>\n
Baghaei said the negotiations were conducted in an atmosphere of mistrust toward the United States.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese talks were held after a 40-day war and in an atmosphere marked not only by mistrust, but also by doubt and suspicion. For that reason, it is natural that an agreement was not reached in a single meeting. No one had such an expectation from the start,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Baghaei also said that another reason no agreement was reached was the inclusion of issues related to the Strait of Hormuz and broader regional matters in the negotiations.<\/p>\n
He said those topics, which carry their own specific difficulties, made the talks more complicated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis made the negotiations more complex,\u201d Baghaei said.<\/p>\n
The indirect talks between Iran and the United States in Islamabad ended without a breakthrough.<\/p>\n
The departure of the US delegation and the statements from the Iranian side confirmed that the first round of contacts did not produce an agreement.<\/p>\n
