Iran will not take part in the second round of talks with the United States. Meanwhile, Washington has stated that it is prepared to continue its diplomatic efforts.

Iran has refused to take part in the second round of talks with the United States. This was reported by the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency.

The report states that progress in the negotiations is being hampered by excessive US demands, unrealistic expectations, constantly shifting positions and contradictory statements.

Other reasons cited include the continuation of the naval blockade, which Iran considers a violation of the ceasefire agreements, as well as threats. Under these conditions, the agency notes, there are no clear prospects for productive negotiations.

Two sources reported that Washington is seeking to reach a framework agreement first, and only then move on to discussing the details. Meanwhile, Iranian officials deny that a second round of talks is taking place.

US President Donald Trump previously stated that Iran had committed a serious breach of the ceasefire, but expressed confidence in the possibility of concluding a peace agreement. He also noted that he has optimistic expectations regarding the talks.

The US administration has announced that a delegation is being prepared to travel to Islamabad for talks with Iran. The delegation is expected to include Vice President J.D. Vance, Special Representative Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

At the same time, some reports suggest that the Iranian delegation will not travel to Pakistan as long as the United States maintains its naval blockade.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held consultations with members of his inner cabinet ahead of the expiry of the ultimatum issued by Donald Trump. A cabinet meeting on security matters is expected.

According to US sources, the US military has completed its preparations and is ready for various scenarios. The aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush is heading to the region.
