The headline:

Iran chose 'not to accept our terms', US VP Vance says after negotiations

Vance said the US "could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms". Halting Iran's nuclear capabilities had been a "core goal" that wasn't reached.

Iran's foreign ministry says the talks were "intensive", and called on Washington to refrain from "excessive demands and unlawful requests".

When one party says they demand acceptance of their terms, I read that as demanding surrender, not a negotiation.

So, the exercise was a kabuki dance, so Trump the God Awful can paint himself as the peacemaker, again, while the additional shipload of Marines draws closer.
