Iranians left disappointed but defiant after failure of peace talks with US

AI Summary

long article 11 min

Peace talks between the U.S. and Iran in Pakistan failed to reach an agreement, leaving Iranians disappointed but defiant. The talks, held after a two-week ceasefire that began on February 28, collapsed after 21 hours, with U.S. officials blaming Iran's refusal to abandon its nuclear program and Iranian officials blaming "inappropriate demands" by the U.S. The failure of the talks casts doubt on the future of the ceasefire, which is due to expire on April 22. Many Iranians have been living in a digital blackout since the war started, relying on state-controlled media for information. Despite the disappointment, some Iranians expressed support for their country.
