TEHRAN, April 15 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said Wednesday that Iran does not confirm any agreement with the United States on extending the truce, according to media reports.

Baghaei also said that no specific dates have been set yet for a new round of U.S.-Iran talks, but added that a Pakistani delegation may visit Iran on Wednesday to further discuss the negotiation process with the United States.

He said Iran considers it possible to discuss parameters of uranium enrichment with the United States, but insists on its right to use nuclear energy.

Iran has asked for the release of its blocked assets in the Islamabad talks, with no conclusion reached, he noted.

The 40-day U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, starting Feb. 28, killed Iran's then Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders and more than 3,000 civilians. Iran responded with waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. assets in the Middle East.

A two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States took effect on April 8. Lengthy talks between Iranian and U.S. delegations were later held in Pakistan's Islamabad, but failed to produce an agreement.

Earlier on Wednesday, The Associated Press, citing officials, reported that the United States and Iran have "agreed in principle" to extend the ceasefire.
