Negotiators from Washington and Tehran left talks in Pakistan on Sunday with little to show for it and a return to fighting between the two sides looming large.
Main Idea: U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan ended without a deal, leaving Vice President JD Vance and Iran far apart as the ceasefire and war remain fragile.
Key Points:
Failed US-Iran talks raise the risk of more war, higher oil prices, and more cost pressure for US households and businesses.
A ceasefire and more talks could still avoid a wider conflict and reduce market shocks if negotiators find common ground.
