Nava Freiberg is The Times of Israel's deputy diplomatic correspondent.

No final decision has been made regarding Iran’s participation in the next round of talks with the US, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei tells Iranian state TV.

Mediator Pakistan said earlier it had yet to receive a formal response from Iran on whether it would send a delegation for the second round of talks in Islamabad today, saying a decision is “critical” hours before the two-week ceasefire struck between the warring sides expires.
