Pakistan Continues Diplomatic Push to Revive Iran-U.S. Talks
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Pakistan is steadfastly pursuing diplomatic avenues to re-establish dialogue between Iran and the United States, as stated by Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.
Speaking at the inaugural session of “Margalla Dialogue 2026” in Islamabad, Dar stressed that maintaining open channels of communication is crucial, even in situations of significant confrontation. He asserted that severed communication lines complicate crisis management and impede progress towards peace in future scenarios.
Dar highlighted Pakistan’s role in facilitating negotiations, referencing the hosted talks between Iran and the U.S. in Islamabad during April and the memorandum of understanding signed on June 18th as foundational steps for ongoing discussions.
The Pakistani Foreign Minister further elaborated on Islamabad’s diplomatic outreach, noting continuous engagement with regional and international parties through collaborations with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt. These four nations also held consultations with the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy on October 23rd.
Expressing concern, Dar warned against escalating rivalries, prolonged conflicts, and the erosion of arms control agreements. He indicated that these developments heighten the risks of miscalculation and pose a threat to global security.
He underscored that the selective application of international law undermines confidence in institutions tasked with upholding these rules, thereby jeopardizing the security of all nations.
The Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan drew attention to the economic ramifications of conflicts, explaining how security crises can translate into economic shocks. He noted that disruptions to trade, technology, and energy supplies can lead to increased food and fuel prices, placing strain on livelihoods.
Dar also affirmed Pakistan’s support for the formation of a multipolar international order and its commitment to strengthening cooperation with China, the United States, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and other countries.
