Pakistan's government issued a statement saying Israel's offensive in Lebanon endangers the ongoing US-Iran negotiations, according to journalist Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The statement adds a new diplomatic layer to existing Iranian pressure over Israel's operations along the northern border.
Pakistan's government on Friday warned that Israel's military offensive in Lebanon threatens the progress of US-Iran talks, according to journalist Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The statement — attributed to Pakistani officials — aligns with recent Iranian diplomatic pressure linking the pace of operations along the Israel-Lebanon border to the viability of the nuclear negotiations with Washington.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, the US-Iran talks have repeatedly been impacted by Israeli operations in southern Lebanon: overnight strikes on June 12 led to a postponement of scheduled talks, and the Iranian parliamentary speaker has since described continuing the negotiations as "impossible" after a subsequent Israeli strike. The Pakistani warning broadens the diplomatic front against Israel's campaign.
It remains unclear whether the Pakistani statement was coordinated with Tehran or reflects Islamabad's independent assessment of regional stability. No official Israeli response has been reported yet.
