Iran yet to decide on new talks, Israel kills two in Lebanon

Iran says it has yet to decide whether to participate in a new round of talks with the US.

“We started the negotiations in good faith and with seriousness, but the negotiating party (the United States) has shown contempt and lack of good faith,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said last night, according to Iranian state television.

A second round of negotiations, expected in the Pakistani capital later this week, has not yet been confirmed.

On Tuesday, US President Trump extended a ceasefire with Iran indefinitely, leaving the next steps for resuming talks unclear.

“Iran has not yet decided whether it will participate in the new round of peace negotiations with the United States scheduled for later this week,” Baqaei said.
