00:00We've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians.
00:03That's the good news.
00:04The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement.
00:07And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America.
00:11The talks are over.
00:14No deal.
00:15No breakthrough.
00:16And now, sharp words from Tehran.
00:20Iran is calling the U.S. demands unreasonable and excessive
00:25after high-stakes negotiations in Islamabad collapsed.
00:32A meeting that was meant to de-escalate tensions has instead deepened the divide.
00:44After nearly 21 hours of talks, the U.S. delegation walked away,
00:50Vice President J.D. Vance confirming no agreement had been reached.
00:55We have been at it now for 21 hours.
00:59And we've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians.
01:03That's the good news.
01:04The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement.
01:07And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States of America.
01:11So, we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement.
01:15We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on,
01:19and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on.
01:22And we've made that as clear as we possibly could.
01:25And they have chosen not to accept our terms.
01:28And on the Iranian side, the reaction was immediate.
01:33Blame.
01:39Iranian state media says the failure was due to what it describes as unrealistic American demands.
01:46At the center of the dispute, the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's nuclear program, sanctions relief, and even war reparations.
01:56Issues that go to the core of both countries' strategic positions.
02:05Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmail Bagayi, laid out the position clearly.
02:11He said Iran has not forgotten past U.S. breaches of promises, and warned,
02:17trust cannot be built if the same patterns continue.
02:21According to Iranian sources, Tehran came to the table with proposals,
02:26frameworks for compromise, steps toward de-escalation.
02:31But those proposals were rejected.
02:34Instead, Iran claims the U.S. pushed for concessions it could not achieve on the battlefield.
02:40A telling accusation.
02:45And now, Tehran is signaling something important.
02:49It is not in a hurry.
02:51Iran is in no hurry to negotiate.
02:54An informed source says,
02:56The ball is in America's court.
02:58A message of patience and pressure.
03:04One issue remains particularly sensitive.
03:07The Strait of Hormuz.
03:09Iran is making it clear.
03:11Nothing will change there until a reasonable agreement is reached.
03:15A warning with global implications.
03:18Because that waterway carries a massive share of the world's oil.
03:23Meanwhile, Washington sees it differently.
03:27Vice President Vance says,
03:29Iran refused to accept U.S. terms,
03:32and that's why the talks failed.
03:34A familiar narrative.
03:36Two sides.
03:37Two interpretations.
03:39No middle ground.
03:41Tonight, diplomacy has stalled.
03:43For now, the war may be paused,
03:46but the conflict is far from resolved.
03:55For now, the conflict is far from resolved.
