Pakistan Mediates US-Iran Tensions Amidst Escalating Conflict

Amidst the ongoing military tensions between America and Iran, Pakistan has stated that it is playing an active role in mediation efforts to resolve the conflict.

Islamabad has urged both sides to return to diplomatic dialogue, stating that a 'solution through dialogue' is essential to bring the situation under control.

Speaking to journalists, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said that although recent hostile developments make it difficult to be optimistic, Pakistan continues its engagement in peace efforts. He said, "Pakistan's mediation efforts are ongoing and should not be underestimated."

According to him, despite the current tense situation, Islamabad considers dialogue as the only permanent solution for regional peace and stability. In his words, "Diplomacy and dialogue should be the guiding principles for resolving all disputed issues."

Meanwhile, the United States launched new airstrikes on Iran on Thursday, and Iran's counter-attack in response has further escalated tensions in West Asia. The US side has also accused Iran of obstructing the process of talks to end the ongoing war.

Spokesperson Andrabi mentioned that Pakistan is deeply concerned about the regional situation and stated that all parties must be responsible for establishing peace. In this context, it has also been confirmed that Pakistan's Interior Minister recently returned from a visit to Iran, during which he handed over the Prime Minister's message and letter to the Iranian leadership. This is considered a part of Pakistan's mediation efforts.

Pakistan has signaled its intention to continue diplomatic initiatives to prevent the expansion of regional war, presenting itself as an impartial mediator in the US-Iran tension.
