Pakistan Explores Avenues to Resume Stalled US-Iran Talks Amidst Chinese Initiative

Pakistan is reportedly exploring ways to resume stalled Washington-Tehran talks, aiming to end their nearly five-month conflict, as part of a Chinese initiative. Exploratory discussions took place during Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni's second visit to Islamabad this week within ten days. Pakistani government data indicates Momeni, considered close to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, met with senior Pakistani government leaders and Army Chief General Asim Munir. Sources emphasized that significant and sensitive obstacles persist for any potential negotiations with the United States. Sharing a 900-kilometer land border, any escalation or confrontation between Iran and the US directly impacts Pakistan's national security, economy, and social fabric.
