Pakistan reaffirmed its commitment to mediating between Iran and the United States, despite ongoing challenges. The announcement came as Middle East tensions escalate, with Pakistan having hosted several rounds of secret talks.
On June 3, Islamabad announced it would continue to serve as a mediator between Iran and the United States, despite persistent difficulties in their bilateral relations. The statement came amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Speaking at a press briefing, a Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized Islamabad’s commitment to promoting dialogue and reducing hostilities. Pakistan has long acted as a bridge in indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington, particularly on nuclear issues and regional security.
Previously, Pakistan hosted several rounds of secret talks between Iranian and U.S. officials. However, the process has frequently been disrupted by deep disagreements between the two sides. Analysts suggest Pakistan’s mediation could reduce the risk of direct conflict, although prospects for a substantive agreement remain distant.
