The Iran-U.S. talks in Pakistan have ended without a deal due to “excessive demands” made by the American side, a top Iranian official said on Sunday (April 12, 2026).
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei, however, said Iran is determined to utilise all tools, including diplomacy, to secure national interests and protect the country’s well-being.
