Vance stated that the US did not see a commitment from Iran to halt nuclear weapons development, and that Iran had rejected the US's final offer. Vance did not respond to questions about potential renewed conflict. Iran blamed the failure on "excessive demands" from the US, claiming they prevented a common agreement. The talks aimed to address concerns regarding Iran's nuclear program and US security interests, but ultimately concluded without a resolution.
