Pakistan has emerged as a key mediator between the United States and Iran, as diplomatic efforts continue to ease tensions in the region. The first round of peace talks between the two sides ended without a formal agreement, but efforts are underway to move forward with a second round.
According to officials, Pakistan is ready to host the next phase of negotiations, aiming to bring both sides back to the table. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said that Iran has not yet confirmed whether its delegation will travel to Pakistan or participate in the second round of dialogue.
Despite the uncertainty, Pakistani authorities remain hopeful that both countries will agree to continue talks, as diplomatic engagement is seen as the only viable path to long-term peace. The proposed second round is expected to focus on reducing tensions and finding common ground on key issues.
When ceasefire between US-Iran will end?
Meanwhile, the current ceasefire between the US and Iran is set to expire on Wednesday at 4:50 am Pakistan Standard Time. The approaching deadline has increased pressure on all sides to make progress and avoid a return to escalation.
Officials believe Pakistan’s role as a mediator reflects its growing importance in regional diplomacy. By offering to host the talks, Islamabad aims to facilitate constructive dialogue and prevent further conflict.
All eyes on Pakistan
Observers say the coming hours will be crucial. If both sides agree to extend the ceasefire or resume negotiations, it could open the door to a broader agreement. However, if talks stall and the truce expires without progress, tensions could rise once again.
For now, all eyes remain on whether Iran will confirm its participation and whether the second round of talks in Pakistan will materialise in time.
