Wans: No agreement reached due to Tehran's refusal to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons

According to The Wall Street Journal, U.S. Vice President Vance stated after marathon peace negotiations between the U.S. and Iran that the two sides failed to reach an agreement because Tehran refused to abandon its pursuit of nuclear weapons. "Unfortunately, we were unable to make any progress." Vance also called on Iran to make a "clear commitment" to no longer seek nuclear weapons. The chief negotiator for Iran stated that Washington had failed to earn its trust.

The U.S. also stated that two U.S. Navy destroyers passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, marking the first time U.S. warships have traversed the waterway since the war began. In response, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy denied that these ships passed through the waterway and stated that any attempt to navigate this route would face a "decisive and tough response."
