Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar held talks with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, emphasizing the importance of continuing dialogue and diplomatic engagement to address outstanding issues and strengthen regional peace and stability as momentum grows around ongoing US-Iran negotiations.
During the conversation, both sides agreed to remain in close contact regarding ceasefire developments and broader regional matters, highlighting the need for coordinated efforts at a sensitive time for the Middle East. The discussion reflects Pakistan’s increasing diplomatic involvement in efforts aimed at reducing tensions and encouraging peaceful solutions.
Meanwhile, Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong reportedly appreciated Pakistan’s constructive role in helping facilitate communication between Tehran and Washington. Islamabad is expected to host the second round of US-Iran talks, with US Vice President JD Vance and a senior American delegation anticipated to attend.
Former US President Donald Trump also stated that an agreement could be signed “today” and indicated he would be willing to meet Iranian leadership if required. On the other hand, Iran has expressed deep mistrust toward the United States while continuing to state that diplomacy remains the preferred path forward.
As tensions continue involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, Pakistan is increasingly being viewed as an important mediator seeking dialogue, de-escalation, and regional stability.
