Pakistan Yet to Confirm Iran Talks as Tehran Praises Islamabad’s Ceasefire Efforts
Islamabad — Pakistan’s Foreign Office has declined to give final confirmation regarding expected talks with Iran, stating that the matter is still under consideration and no decision has been finalized yet, according to official sources on Friday.
Meanwhile, Iran has acknowledged Pakistan’s diplomatic role in regional de-escalation. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghaei praised Islamabad’s efforts aimed at achieving a ceasefire, emphasizing that Iran continues to take necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and security.
On the international front, former U.S. President Donald Trump had expressed optimism a day earlier about the possibility of a second round of negotiations with Iran. He suggested that talks could take place as early as Friday, with positive developments expected within the next 36 to 72 hours.
Diplomatic observers note that while signals from multiple sides appear cautiously optimistic, the situation remains fluid and dependent on ongoing consultations.
