Vice President JD Vance boards his government plane at 7:08 a.m. local time in Islamabad, departing Pakistan after he said that Iran declined to back down on developing a nuclear weapon, preventing a deal.
That’s according to a reporter traveling with Vance.
The war with Iran started at the end of February and the extensive talks ended after 21 hours. The US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire on April 7 for negotiations.
