Pakistan has offered to step in as a mediator between Iran US, to host talks if they agree
Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Hussain Andrabi, in an interview with a news channel, stated that Pakistan is open to playing a constructive diplomatic role.
“If both sides agree, Pakistan is always ready to host talks,” Andrabi said, emphasizing Islamabad’s readiness to facilitate dialogue between the two nations. The offer comes just hours after Iran rejected the US President’s claim that it had opened a diplomatic channel over the weekend. In recent days, top officials from both Iran and the US have issued contradictory statements regarding any potential engagement, adding uncertainty to the situation.
The Financial Times (English newspaper) had reported that Pakistan is emerging as a key diplomatic player in efforts to ease tensions between the US and Iran. Amid a deepening regional crisis, Islamabad is quietly working behind the scenes to broker dialogue and prevent further escalation.
According to reports, senior Pakistani officials have been arranging behind-the-scenes contacts between Iranian officials and key US figures, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Pakistan’s military and political leadership have actively engaged both sides in recent days.
