In intensive talks at highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with U.S in good faith to end war.<\/p>\n

But when just inches away from \u201cIslamabad MoU\u201d, we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade.<\/p>\n

Zero lessons earned<\/p>\n

Good will begets good will.
Enmity begets enmity.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) April 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Araghchi further stated, \u201cZero lessons earned. Goodwill begets goodwill. Enmity begets enmity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Iran\u2019s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that recent threats from US President Donald Trump have \u201cno effect on the Iranian nation,\u201d while also indicating cautious progress in ongoing interactions between Tehran and Washington.<\/p>\n

According to Iranian state media and reports by Al Jazeera, Ghalibaf said Iran had presented \u201cvery good initiatives\u201d during the talks, helping move the dialogue forward.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cTrump\u2019s recent threats have no effect on the Iranian nation,\u201d and warned the US president, saying, \u201cIf you fight, we will fight, and if you come forward with logic, we will respond with logic.\u201d He further emphasized, \u201cWe will not bow to any threats; let them test our will once again so that we can teach them a bigger lesson,\u201d reaffirming Iran\u2019s firm stance against external pressure.<\/p>\n

These remarks followed hours of negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad on Sunday, which ended without an agreement. US Vice President JD Vance said that despite extensive discussions, no deal was reached.<\/p>\n

He noted that while the US delegation would return without an agreement, the outcome was \u201cworse for Iran\u201d than for the United States.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, Vance said the talks lasted around 21 hours and involved several substantive discussions but ultimately did not produce a final outcome. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a number of substantive agreements with the Iranians that is the good news.<\/p>\n

The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. That is worse for Iran, much more than it is for the United States,\u201d he said, adding that the US delegation would return home without a deal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
