TOI correspondent from Washington: Washington and Tehran are returning to a crisis and confrontation mode -- at the expense of rest of the world -- after US vice-president JD Vance returned home empty-handed from his Mission Islamabad aimed at subjugating Iran into giving up its nuclear program.
After almost a full day of talks in Pakistan, Vance acknowledged failure, striking a characteristically blunt note before he left Islamabad for Washington DC. “We’ve had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians. That’s the good news. The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement,” he said in the early hours of Sunday, after all-night parleys with the Iranian delegation.
