Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said talks to end the war collapsed because of what he described as excessive US demands.
Writing on X on June 13, Araghchi said Iran had been on the verge of an "Islamabad memorandum of understanding" before encountering what he called US extremism, reversals and obstruction.
He also wrote that the US had "learned nothing" and that goodwill begets goodwill, while hostility begets hostility.
The US and Iran held 21 hours of talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, starting June 11 and continuing past midnight, but failed to reach an agreement.
After the negotiations broke down, President Donald Trump ordered restrictions on passage through the Strait of Hormuz for vessels traveling to and from Iranian ports. The US military said it would begin blocking those ships from using the waterway at 10 a.m. Eastern Time on June 13, or 11 p.m. in South Korea the same day.
