WASHINGTON, April 12. /TASS/. A senior White House official told reporters that the US-Iranian talks in the capital of Pakistan continue for more than 15 hours. "15 hours and counting!" the official was quoted as saying in a report by the US Vice Presidential Pool. The report did not elaborate on the level of the ongoing talks. Earlier, the Iranian government said Pakistan-mediated negotiations between the United States and Iran have officially ended after 14 hours of discussions.
