00:00Their encounter was highly anticipated.
00:02For the entire night from Saturday to Sunday, Iranian and American officials negotiated to find a way out of the
00:10war the two countries are engaged in.
00:12But on Sunday morning, the leader of the U.S. delegation, J.D. Vance, dampened hope for an end to
00:18the war.
00:19We have been at it now for 21 hours, and we've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians.
00:27That's the good news.
00:28The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement, and I think that's bad news for Iran much
00:33more than it's bad news for the United States of America.
00:35So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement.
00:40The two countries notably failed to agree on Iran's nuclear ambitions, which the U.S. wants to limit considerably.
00:47Mediating country Pakistan nevertheless showed itself hopeful.
00:51We hope that the two sides continue with the positive spirit to achieve durable peace and prosperity for the entire
01:00region and beyond.
01:01It is imperative that the parties continue to uphold their commitment to ceasefire.
01:07Pakistan has been and will continue to play its role to facilitate engagement and dialogue between the Islamic Republic of
01:16Iran and the United States of America in the days to come.
01:21With the failed talks, the fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran now hangs in the balance.
01:28It remains unclear whether hostilities in the Middle East could intensify again,
01:32or whether the two countries could attempt to return to the negotiating table in the near future.
