The US-Iran peace talks held in Islamabad, Pakistan, ended without a resolution after 21 hours of discussions led by US Vice President JD Vance. The negotiations aimed to address critical issues, including Iran's nuclear program and the ongoing conflict in Lebanon. Vance stated that Iran did not accept American terms, particularly the commitment to refrain from developing nuclear weapons. Iranian state media attributed the failure to the US's 'unreasonable demands'. Concurrently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized Israel's determination to counter Iran's influence, stating that Israel would continue to combat what he termed Iran's 'terror regime'. The situation in Lebanon remains dire, with the health ministry reporting over 2,000 deaths and more than 6,300 injuries due to recent violence. Additionally, the US military has begun preparations for clearing mines in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, although Iran's military command denied claims regarding US naval movements in the area.
