Update:
Two hours later 'Canceled negotiations at the request of 9 countries in the Americas'

Before the update:
Axios reported on Wednesday, citing two American officials, that the United States has informed the Islamic Republic that it will not agree to Tehran's request to change the location and format of the scheduled negotiations on Friday.

A senior American official told Axios: "We told Iran either this format or nothing; they said, well, then nothing."

Another American official told Axios that if Iran is willing to return to the original format of the negotiations, the U.S. is ready for a meeting this week or next.

A senior American official also said: "We want to reach a real agreement as soon as possible, otherwise people will look at other options."

Axios reported that U.S. officials expect Steve Witkoff, the White House envoy, and Jared Kushner, son-in-law and advisor to Donald Trump, to travel to Qatar on Thursday to discuss Iran with the Prime Minister of Qatar. According to the current schedule, they will return to Miami after this meeting and have no plans to meet with Iranian officials.

According to Axios, the Islamic Republic's mission to the United Nations did not respond to a request for comment.
