Vance says talks failed to reach agreement with Iran

23 Sept 02:29 Key points summarised by AI

US Vice President J.D. Vance announced the collapse of peace talks with Iran, stating that Iran refused American terms to cease nuclear weapon development.
The 21-hour negotiations, part of the third round of face-to-face discussions, ended without a deal, casting uncertainty over a fragile two-week ceasefire in the ongoing seven-week conflict.
Vance emphasized that the US presented its "final and best offer," demanding Iran's explicit commitment against seeking nuclear weapons, leaving the ceasefire's future precarious.
Amidst the diplomatic impasse, the US military reported its destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz for mine-clearing operations, an action disputed by Iranian state media.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
