Iran envoy details US demands in failed talks

Iranian Ambassador Hosseinian has detailed the specific US demands that led to the breakdown of negotiations in Pakistan. According to the diplomat, the American delegation insisted Iran surrender all its enriched uranium and demanded direct US participation in managing the Strait of Hormuz, replacing Oman. Tehran refused to discuss the Hormuz proposal, asserting the strait is within the territorial waters of Iran and Oman and that the US has no legitimate role. The ambassador stated that while positions were close at certain points, the US introduction of these conditions ultimately caused the talks to fail.
