Pakistan's Foreign Minister is currently holding talks with the United States and Iran in an effort to reduce tensions, according to Al-Arabiya. The Saudi network reported the early Sunday discussions without specifying a location or a timeline for potential outcomes.
The development is the latest in a series of Pakistani mediation efforts between the two adversaries. As The Zioneer has reported, Pakistan's Foreign Minister traveled to Geneva in mid-June for talks, and the country's Interior Minister visited Iran in early June. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif stated on June 8 that a 'final objective' was near in the negotiations.
The talks come as Iran and the US remain in active conflict, with regional powers seeking to de-escalate. The Pakistani foreign minister's current direct engagement with both sides marks a diplomatic push to narrow the gaps.
The precise status of the talks and any progress toward a deal remain unconfirmed.
