US negotiations with Iran. “Tehran's decision is crucial”
However, the question remained whether the Iranian delegation would also appear in Islamabad. CNN noted that as of late Tuesday morning (Eastern American time), Iran had not declared sending representatives to the next round of talks in Pakistan.
We are still waiting for official confirmation of the Iranian side's arrival in Islamabad for talks with the US, Pakistan's Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said on Tuesday on the X platform. He added that the ceasefire between Iran and the US is valid until 4:50 a.m. Pakistan time on Wednesday (1:50 a.m. Polish time).
Tarar, in his statement, wrote that Pakistan “made significant efforts to convince the Iranian leadership to participate in the second round of talks.” “Iran's decision to participate in talks before the end of the two-week ceasefire is crucial,” Tarar emphasized. The Pakistani information minister assured that he was in contact with Iranian representatives.
A spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs before 19 Polish time, he said that “no final decision has been made” on participation in ceasefire talks between the US and Iran.
