A ship is seen in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Sharjah the day after the failure of US-Iran peace talks on April 13, 2026.

Any hopes that US Vice President would emerge from the marathon day of negotiations with top Iranian officials with a deal to end a war that has rippled across the Middle East were dashed when he left hosts Pakistan emptyhanded.
