US-Iran Ceasefire Talks LIVE: US V-P JD Vance leaves Pakistan after failed talks with Iran

Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has urged that the ceasefire in the Middle East should continue even though the talks between the US and Iran have failed.

"The priority now must be to continue the ceasefire and return to negotiations," Wong said in a statement, adding it was "disappointing that the Islamabad talks between the United States and Iran have ended without agreement".

Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has said that it is "imperative that the parties continue to uphold their commitment to ceasefire". "We hope that the two sides continue with positive spirit to achieve durable peace and prosperity for the entire region and beyond," he said, as reported by BBC. 

Iran's spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has said that the Middle East nation will use all of its tools to secure its national interests. He further said Iran will never forget "the experiences of America's breaches of promise and malicious acts".

"Nothing can or should deter us from pursuing our great historical mission toward our beloved homeland and noble Iranian civilization. The Islamic Republic of Iran is determined to utilize all tools, including diplomacy, to secure national interests and protect the country's well-being," he said.

Iranian state broadcaster IRIB has said that the talks with the US in Islamabad, Pakistan, have failed due to the "Unreasonable" demands by the Americans. 

"The Iranian delegation negotiated continuously and intensively for 21 hours in order to protect the national interests of the Iranian people; despite various initiatives from the Iranian delegation, the unreasonable demands of the American side prevented the progress of the negotiations. Thus the negotiations ended," it said.

Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, US Vice President JD Vance said that the two sides were not able to "make any headway", and the American delegation will soon leave Islamabad, Pakistan.

Speaking at a press conference in Islamabad, US Vice President JD Vance said US is now planning to leave Pakistan after failing to reach at a consensus with Iran over ceasefire. "We have been at it now for 21 hours... the bad news is that we have not reached an agreement," he said.

Speaking at a press conference in Pakistan's Islamabad, US Vice President JD Vance said that the core goal of the Americans is to halt the nuclear capabilities of Iran. He further said that Iran's nuclear programme has "been destroyed". 

"The simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon and they will not seek the tools that will enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon," he said.

Speaking at a press conference in Pakistan's Islamabad, US Vice President JD Vance said that Washington "came in good faith" for the talks, but added that it was unfortunate that the two sides couldn't come to an agreement.
