Iran has announced it will not participate in the upcoming peace talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, despite a ceasefire extension declared by US President Donald Trump. The ceasefire was extended just hours before it was set to expire, with Trump stating that the US would refrain from military actions until negotiations yield results. Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, emphasized that further discussions will only resume once the US lifts its blockade, which Iran views as a violation of the ceasefire. Reports indicate that Iran communicated its decision through a Pakistani mediator, labeling it a final decision. Iranian media has claimed that the US began breaching its commitments shortly after the ceasefire was agreed upon, leading to a deadlock in negotiations. The US had accepted a 10-point framework proposed by Iran, but excessive demands from the US during initial talks reportedly violated this framework. As a result, US Vice President JD Vance and other negotiators remained in Washington instead of traveling to Islamabad as initially planned.
