The negotiations between the US delegations and Iranian delegations failed to achieve anything meaningful after a 21hrs of negotiations.
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi as reportes by Iranian TV revealed the reasons behind the failure of the two sides to achieve any agreeable understanding in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Details:
- The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war
- The Americans demanded that Iran hand over enriched uranium and open the Strait of Hormuz without recognizing Iran’s sovereignty over it
- Iran has decided to defend its national interests by military means.
"We are disappointed with how US behaved. Netanyahu's call to Vance during the meeting shifted the focus from US-Iran negotiations to Israel's interests. The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war. We came here with good faith, the press conference by Vance before he left Pakistan was unnecessary, we are committed & prepared to safeguard our nation's interest and sovereignty"- Iran FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi.
The success of the negotiations depends on avoiding excessive and illegal demands and recognising Iran’s legitimate rights, the Iranian Foreign Ministry affirmed.
The US/Iran talks to end the war in Islamabad went through sharp swings and continued into the early hours of this morning, a Pakistani official told the Washington Post.
According to some reports from social media, US President Donald Trump has proposed a naval blockade against Iran following failed negotiations in Islamabad between the U.S. and Iran.
Trump suggested the U.S. could respond to Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz by imposing its own blockade.
The U.S. Navy could potentially assert control over maritime traffic in the strait, effectively restricting movement along this critical global oil route.
The proposal comes amid broader warnings from Trump after the collapse of talks, while Pakistan continues mediation efforts and urges both sides to maintain the ceasefire despite rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz.
According to credible source, Iran will only allow about 10 ships per day through Strait of Hormuz for fees up to $2 million .
Tehran plans to permit no more than a dozen vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, with fees potentially as high as $2 million per supertanker, US media reported
Shipowners from several countries are said to be negotiating with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for permission to transit the strategic waterway
The limited number of ships allowed to cross will have to follow specially designated routes and obtain the necessary permits
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened following a two-week ceasefire announcement on Wednesday night
