Iran has no plans for next round of negotiations with US - report

CNN National Security Analyst Alex Plitsas said Iran’s refusal to accept US policy red lines on nuclear issues reflects Tehran’s belief it is winning and can wait the US out.

“We won’t see a change in behavior until we see a change in perception,” he posted on X.

US Vice President JD Vance said any deal with Iran requires a clear commitment that Tehran will not pursue nuclear weapons or the means to rapidly develop them.

“We need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon," Vance said. “That is the core goal of the president of the United States, and that's what we've tried to achieve through these negotiations.”

US Vice President JD Vance said in a presser on Saturday no agreement was reached with Iran after 21 hours of negotiations in Pakistan.

Vance said the United States had clearly outlined its “red lines” and areas where it was willing to compromise, but Iran did not accept the terms.

“We’ve made very clear what our red lines are … and may have chosen not to accept our terms,” Vice President said.

"We go back to the United States having not come to an agreement, we've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on, and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on and we made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept our terms," he said.

Vance added that any agreement would require a firmer commitment from Iran that it will not develop a nuclear weapon.

Senator John Fetterman said on Saturday the US should not walk away from Iran negotiations as they are “at the cusp of possibly creating enduring kinds of real peace” and holding Iran accountable.

"I do not think we can walk away because here we are, we are at the cusp of possibly creating enduring kinds of real peace in there and holding Iran accountable," Fetterman said.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Saturday discussions over the past 24 hours included key negotiation topics such as the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s nuclear program, war reparations, sanctions relief, and the end of hostilities, he posted on X.

Baghaei added that the success of the diplomatic process depends on the other side’s seriousness and good faith, as well as avoiding “maximalist and unlawful demands” while respecting Iran’s rights.
