U.S.-Iran Talks End Without Deal After Dispute Over Nuclear Commitment

According to Fox News, Vice President Vance said the U.S. delegation left the talks after deciding Iran’s negotiators lacked authority, leaving further progress dependent on approval from Tehran’s leadership.

Fact Check
The core of the claim is supported by multiple fetched reports. BBC's live page says the peace talks were taking place in Pakistan and includes update text/video that JD Vance said the U.S. and Iran failed to reach a deal. CBS coverage is aligned with the same negotiations and search evidence tied to that page explicitly says Vance stated 'we have not reached an agreement' after the talks. NBC independently corroborates the timing, venue, and negotiating context. However, the more specific detail that officials said negotiations will continue but no date, location, or plan for the next round had been announced is not firmly established in the fetched page content I could access. Because the main point is corroborated but that final detail is only partially substantiated, the statement is best rated likely_true rather than fully confirmed.

Summary

U.S.-Iran talks that ended without an agreement on April 12 have continued indirectly, but Fox News reported Vice President Vance said the U.S. delegation left after concluding Iran’s negotiators lacked the authority to finalize a deal. He said any further progress now depends on approval from Tehran’s leadership. This adds a new U.S. explanation for the impasse alongside earlier reporting from CBS and CNN that the two sides remained in contact and had made progress toward a diplomatic agreement, as well as prior Iranian statements blaming shifting and excessive U.S. demands. Vance also said Trump remains open to normalized relations if key conditions are met.
