Pakistan's Foreign Ministry called on the United States and Iran Thursday to exercise maximum restraint, halt military escalation, and immediately return to negotiations, stressing that the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding is the only means to prevent a full regional conflagration, according to the ministry's official statement.
The statement, issued Thursday morning, is the latest in a series of Pakistani diplomatic appeals amid escalating US-Iran tensions. As The Zioneer reported, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry previously called for restraint on July 12 (22:41 Jerusalem), July 8 (19:55 Jerusalem), and June 8 (16:28 Jerusalem), each time invoking the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding as the framework for resolving the crisis. The ministry's repeated calls underscore Pakistan's role as a mediator between Washington and Tehran. The current statement does not specify new measures or deadlines, but emphasizes that the MoU is the only means to prevent a full regional conflagration. The Zioneer will continue to track developments.
