Talks between Iran and the United States in Islamabad ended early Sunday without a breakthrough, with Pakistan saying it will continue to facilitate dialogue while urging both sides to stick to the ceasefire.
Pakistan's deputy Prime Minister and foreign minister Ishaq Dar said Islamabad had helped mediate multiple rounds of discussions over the weekend.
He urged both sides to keep the momentum alive, saying it is imperative that the parties continue to uphold their commitment to the ceasefire.
Pakistan will remain engaged in the process going forward, Dar said, adding that the country will continue to play its role to facilitate engagements and dialogue between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the US in the days to come.
US Vice President JD Vance said negotiations had concluded without a peace deal, as Iran did not agree to Washington's terms on nuclear weapons.
Iran's delegation led by its Parliament speaker Mohammad Baqir Ghalibaf and foreign minister Abbas Araghchi left the mediator country soon after, the Mehr news agency reported.
The Pakistan-brokered talks were being closely watched worldwide, as they marked the first direct, high-level engagement between the two sides since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
