Sources say Iran will not participate in the US-Iran talks on the 22nd.

The Iranian negotiating team, through Pakistani intermediaries, announced to the US that, for various reasons, they would not travel to Islamabad, Pakistan on the 22nd and currently have no possibility of participating in the negotiations. Sources indicate that after Pakistan intervened to mediate and requested a ceasefire from the US, Iran accepted the ceasefire agreement and agreed to conduct subsequent negotiations to end the war based on a ten-point framework it proposed, which had already been accepted by the US. Pakistan also explicitly stated that the US accepted this framework. However, in the days that followed, the US began to renege on its promises. Furthermore, during the first round of negotiations in Islamabad, the US made many excessive demands, effectively violating the initial framework, leading to a stalemate in that round of talks. Sources also stated that in the exchanges over the past few days, the US insisted on its excessive demands, which infringe upon the absolute rights of the Iranian people, and the exchanges between the two sides have not made any substantial progress. Therefore, Iran finally announced today that, under these circumstances, participating in the negotiations would be a waste of time, as the US is preventing any substantive agreement from being reached.
