Iranian authorities have presented "reasonable proposals" during consultations with the United States in Islamabad and are ready to take time for negotiations, as the ball is in Washington's court, the Tasnim news agency reported, citing a source.
According to him, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will not change until the United States reaches a reasonable agreement with Iran.
Earlier, US Vice President J. D. Vance said after consultations with Tehran that the parties had failed to reach an agreement and that the American delegation had decided to return to the United States, leaving the Iranian side with a final proposal.
Vance's press service announced his departure from Pakistan.
The statement noted that Vance boarded the plane at 5:08 a.m. Bulgarian time.
The US Vice President had previously announced that the American delegation was returning to the United States after talks with Iranian representatives in Islamabad, which did not lead to an agreement. Vance noted that the consultations lasted 21 hours.
Details of a possible new round of talks remain unknown, according to the Tasnim news agency.
According to the media, during the 21-hour consultations at various levels, the Iranian delegation repeatedly made advances to Washington and unsuccessfully urged the American delegation to adopt a realistic approach to the negotiations.
Some of the disagreements in the US-Iran talks in Pakistan stem from Tehran's insistence on control of the Strait of Hormuz and its unwillingness to give up its stockpile of enriched uranium, Axios reported, citing a source.
The impasse in the talks threatens the two-week truce reached last week, the publication noted.
According to Fars, Iran has not agreed to the US conditions on the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear energy. Tasnim also attributed the lack of a deal to “excessive demands” from the US.
