US and Iran end 21-hour ceasefire talks without agreement before Vance departs Pakistan

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance says negotiations with Iran have ended in Pakistan after 21 hours without reaching an agreement. Vance spoke briefly to reporters after the talks concluded before dawn Sunday. Two Pakistani officials who spoke on condition of anonymity say discussions between the heads of the delegations will resume after a break. Some technical personnel from both teams are still meeting. The historic bargaining ended days after a fragile, two-week ceasefire was announced as the war that has killed thousands of people and shaken global markets entered its seventh week.
