Pakistan's Attempted Mediation Between Iran and US Fails Amid Regional Escalation

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar revealed that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army chief Asim Munir made extensive efforts to mediate secret talks between Iran and the United States in Islamabad to prevent regional conflict escalation. The initiative aimed to address security concerns and protect Iran's borders, with Pakistan hoping to leverage ties with both sides and Gulf monarchies. However, the plan did not materialize, partly due to Iran's actions escalating hostilities, limiting Pakistan's diplomatic influence.
