Dar says Pakistan is relaying messages in US-Iran talks

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said indirect communication between the United States and Iran was under way through messages relayed by Pakistan, with Turkiye and Egypt also helping the effort. In the report, Dar said speculation around peace contacts had grown unnecessarily and stressed that Islamabad remained committed to promoting regional stability through dialogue and diplomacy.

Geo News said Dar disclosed that Tehran was considering 15 points conveyed by Washington. The report placed his remarks within wider efforts to create a diplomatic opening after weeks of conflict involving the US, Israel and Iran. It also said Pakistan had been active in back-channel outreach and remained in contact with multiple regional and international capitals as part of de-escalation efforts.

The article added that Islamabad had offered to host talks and that Pakistan's leadership was directly engaging foreign counterparts to push for a ceasefire and a peaceful resolution. Because of Pakistan's unusual mediator role and the regional stakes involved, the confirmation quickly became one of the top political stories trending in the country.
