PM Shehbaz reaffirms Pakistan's resolve to mediate between Iran and US
Speaking at the United Nations, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Islamabad has not lost hope of achieving de-escalation between Tehran and Washington.
Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has reaffirmed his country's commitment to acting as a mediator between Iran and the United States, speaking to reporters at United Nations headquarters.
Sharif said Pakistan remains committed to its role as a go-between for the two countries, adding that Islamabad has not lost hope of achieving de-escalation between Iran and the US despite ongoing tensions.
The prime minister's remarks come amid continued strain between Tehran and Washington, with Pakistan positioning itself as a diplomatic bridge given its historical ties with Iran alongside its longstanding relationship with the United States.
Sharif's comments were made on the sidelines of high-level events in New York this week, where numerous world leaders and officials have held a series of bilateral discussions touching on regional security issues in the Middle East.
Pakistan has previously offered to facilitate dialogue between the two countries, though it remains unclear what concrete steps, if any, have resulted from these mediation efforts so far.
