On day 44 of the US-Iran conflict, talks held in Islamabad, Pakistan, aimed at ending the war, concluded without an agreement. The 21-hour negotiations, intended to solidify a fragile ceasefire, failed due to disagreements, with both sides blaming each other. The conflict, ongoing for over six weeks, has resulted in thousands of deaths, primarily in Iran, and has significantly impacted global oil and gas prices. While the US delegation, led by Vice President JD Vance, expressed disappointment, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stated that Islamabad would continue to facilitate future peace talks. Despite skepticism among Iranian residents, there remains hope for a resolution to the conflict, which has claimed over 2,000 Iranian lives.
