Marathon peace talks between the U.S. and Iran collapsed on April 12, 2026, after 21 hours of negotiations in Islamabad failed to bridge irreconcilable demands over Iran's uranium enrichment program and its insistence on charging tolls through the Strait of Hormuz. With Iran holding 441 kg of 60%-enriched uranium — enough for up to a dozen nuclear weapons — and the world's most critical energy chokepoint largely closed since February, the breakdown leaves no diplomatic off-ramp for a six-week-old military conflict that has already reshaped global energy markets and Gulf security alliances.
