In a statement to Iranian state media, Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Barre said that the two sides, quote, reached an understanding on a number of issues, but ultimately the talks did not lead to an agreement.
He added that issues such as Iran's demand that it continue to control the Strait of Hormuz added complexities to the talks and that, quote, we should not have expected to reach an agreement in one meeting from the beginning.
After the collapse of the talks, Vice President J.D.
Vann said that the U.S.
needs a commitment from Iran that it will not seek a nuclear weapon nor pursue the tools to quickly build one.
Iran has repeatedly said that the nuclear program is a civilian one and that it has a right to continue to enrich uranium for that purpose.
The status of the two-week ceasefire is uncertain at this point, as are the possibilities of further negotiations.
