The Reuters report, cited by Israeli media, states that Pakistan is exploring the renewal of US-Iran contacts on a Chinese initiative, with the goal of ending the current fighting. The report indicates that the talks have already begun, during the visit of Iran's interior minister to Islamabad.
Pakistan has been an active mediator between the US and Iran in recent weeks and months, as previously reported by The Zioneer. Pakistani officials have held talks in Tehran, Geneva, and Islamabad, and have coordinated with China and Qatar. The latest report suggests that China is now directly initiating the renewal of contacts, potentially signaling a more active role.
The details of the talks and the specific terms being discussed remain unclear. The report does not indicate whether the US or Iran have formally responded to the initiative.
