# The U.S. and Iran failed to reach an agreement to end their war despite lengthy talks that concluded on Sunday in the Pakistani capital Islamabad, jeopardising a fragile ceasefire. Each side blamed the other for the failure of the 21-hour-long negotiations to end fighting that has killed thousands and sent global oil prices soaring. US vice-president JD Vance said Iran had chosen not to accept American terms, including not to build nuclear weapons. Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency said that excessive U.S. demands had hindered reaching an agreement.
