ISLAMABAD – U.S. 
Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that his negotiating team was leaving Pakistan after not reaching a deal with Iran following 21 hours of negotiations, jeopardizing a fragile two-week ceasefire. 
"The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement, and I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news ​for the United States of America," Vance told reporters after the talks ended. 
"So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. ‌ 
We've ‌made very clear what our red lines are."
