Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian thanked Pakistan for what he called its "responsible and brotherly diplomatic efforts," which he said helped bring about the ceasefire agreement and stabilize the outcome of negotiations, according to state-aligned reports. He made the remarks in a meeting with Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi in Tehran.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian publicly credited Pakistan with a diplomatic role in reaching the ceasefire agreement during a meeting Saturday evening with Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi in Tehran. Pezeshkian described Pakistan's efforts as "responsible and brotherly" and said they helped stabilize the outcome of the negotiations.
The remark marks a fresh acknowledgment of Islamabad's involvement in the regional diplomatic track. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had called for restraint in the reported Iran-Israel ceasefire talks, stating in early June that a "final objective" was near. Pezeshkian has in recent weeks consistently defended the negotiation process against hardline domestic criticism, describing an emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding as "historic."
The extent of Pakistan's practical mediation role remains unclear, as Pezeshkian did not provide specifics. The Iranian president's statement is attributed to state-aligned media in Tehran.
