Media Says U.S. Demanded Iran Suspend Uranium Enrichment for 20 Years
The discussions, held in Pakistan and aimed at securing a durable ceasefire, reportedly included a US offer to halt attacks and release a portion of Iran’s frozen financial assets.
In exchange, Washington was said to have demanded sweeping concessions from Tehran, including a two-decade halt to uranium enrichment, the transfer of its enriched uranium stockpiles abroad, and guarantees of unrestricted maritime passage through the Strait of Hormuz without any imposed transit fees.
According to the reports, Iranian officials engaged in discussions over the nuclear issue, but deep divisions persisted, preventing meaningful progress toward a resolution.
Earlier, US Vice President JD Vance confirmed that the direct talks concluded without a breakthrough agreement.
“We have been working on this for 21 hours and held a number of important meetings with the Iranians. That’s the good news. The bad news is that we were unable to reach an agreement,” Vance said.
Iranian media attributed the failure to finalize even a preliminary framework to what it described as excessive demands from Washington, highlighting the entrenched positions on both sides.
