The negotiations began on Saturday (11/4) and continued overnight until Sunday morning. The head of the US delegation, Vice President J.D. Vance, stated on Sunday that Iran and the US failed to reach an agreement in the lengthy negotiations, emphasising that the US delegation would return to its country without bringing any agreement results.
