Iran remains ‘comfortable’ after failed peace talks with US, analyst says | ABC NEWS

US Vice-President JD Vance has warned Iran the failure to reach a ceasefire is ‘bad news’ for Tehran much more than for Washington.
The outcome of the high-level talks in Pakistan’s Islamabad has thrown doubt on the future of the Strait of Hormuz.
Deakin University’s Professor Shahram Akbarzadeh says the US vice-president’s statement is inaccurate because Iran feels more 'comfortable' in the current state of play, while US President Donald Trump is facing more pressure to end the war in the Middle East.
