Iran has declined to participate in talks scheduled in Pakistan regarding a ceasefire and agreement with the United States, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency. The agency cited one of its representatives, saying the decision was made because Washington had not withdrawn what Tehran described as its 'unreasonable demands.' Tasnim reported that Iran announced it would not attend the meeting, calling participation a waste of time under current conditions.

The report added that Iran has formally informed Pakistan of its decision and notified mediators that it will not be present at the discussions planned for the following day. The talks were expected to focus on potential steps toward easing tensions between the two countries. However, the authenticity of the report could not be independently verified, according to Al Jazeera.

The development underscores ongoing friction between Iran and the United States, with Pakistan positioned as a potential facilitator in the dialogue process.
