US Vice President J D Vance said Iran has moved in the direction of the US during the peace talks in Islamabad, but it's now up to Tehran to make the next move.
Vance stated that the US and Iran failed to reach an agreement in the 21-hour marathon peace talks, with Washington insisting that Tehran refused to give up its right over enrichment of nuclear fuel.
Vance stressed that if America's 'red lines' on Iran's nuclear ambitions are met, 'then this can be a very, very good deal for both countries.'
The US vice president added that the Pakistan peace talks ultimately ended because Iranian negotiators were unable to finalise a deal, revealing insights into who holds decision-making authority in Tehran.
Vance agreed with US President Donald Trump on Iran not having nuclear weapons, saying it would give them 'leverage to engage in economic terrorism on the entire world'.
Vance also addressed rising energy prices, stating that they are 'painful' but will not be around forever, and that the US will continue to negotiate aggressively to bring them down.
