Pakistan's Foreign Minister discussed US-Iran mediation progress with his Swiss counterpart and welcomed movement toward an understanding between Washington and Tehran, N12 reports. The two diplomats expressed hope that the efforts would contribute to regional peace. Switzerland is not a formal mediator in the talks but has hosted past rounds of indirect US-Iran negotiations.
The call follows a series of diplomatic engagements by Pakistan, which has positioned itself as a mediator. As The Zioneer reported, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on June 8 that a 'final objective' was near in the talks. Pakistan's interior minister left Iran after mediating that same day, and Foreign Ministry officials confirmed on June 11 that mediation efforts continue.
The content of the prospective US-Iran understanding has not been disclosed. No direct meeting between US and Iranian officials has been announced.
