TEHRAN'S decision not to take part in the second round of talks with the United States in Pakistan on Wednesday is "definitive," Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Tuesday.
The news agency said the Pakistani mediator has been informed of Iran's decision, which is aimed at completely protecting the Iranian people's rights.

Earlier on Tuesday, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said that the inconsistent messages and actions from Washington, coupled with unacceptable actions taken by the United States, made it difficult for Iran to make a decision on participating in the negotiations.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday to extend the ceasefire on some conditions.
The U.S. president said he will "extend the ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other."
The current two-week truce with Iran is set to expire on Wednesday night, according to him.
The White House said afterwards that Vice President JD Vance and the U.S. negotiating delegation would not travel to Pakistan on Tuesday.
Updates regarding the face-to-face talks between the United States and Iran will be released by the White House, it added.
