US-Iran talks failed "inches away" from deal in Islamabad

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Tehran was just "inches away" from a peace deal with Washington before the weekend talks with the United States collapsed in Islamabad. He said the Iranian delegation negotiated with the US in "good faith" for an end to the war, but according to him, they encountered "maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade" from the American side.
"In intensive talks at the highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with the US in good faith to end the war. But when just inches away from the "Islamabad MoU", we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade," Araghchi wrote in a post on X.
He then echoed earlier threats from Iranian officials. "Zero lessons earned. Good will begets good will. Enmity begets enmity."
