Negotiations to reach a ceasefire in Iran have reached a dead end after Tehran officials called U.S. demands unacceptable and conveyed that they won't meet with Washington counterparts in Islamabad in the coming days, according to a new report by The Wall Street Journal.
Around the same time, Iranian defense official Ali Akbar Ahmadian said in a social media post that Tehran will "neither retreat under threats nor be swayed by clamor and empty shows."
