Pakistan Invites Iranian Foreign Minister for Talks Amid US-Iran Tensions
Pakistan has invited Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Islamabad for talks amid renewed tensions between the US and Iran. This diplomatic outreach aims to position Pakistan as a key intermediary between Tehran and Washington, following US President Donald Trump's cancellation of planned military strikes on Iran. Pakistan's National Assembly Speaker has also invited Iran's parliamentary speaker. Officials note that Pakistan is maintaining a low profile while continuing behind-the-scenes engagement, though Iran's response to the invitations remains unknown.
