Pakistan intensifies diplomatic push
Meanwhile, Pakistan has stepped up high-level contacts with both sides, positioning itself as an “honest broker” and expressing confidence that the talks will proceed as planned.
Pakistan is hosting the second round of high-stakes talks following an initial meeting earlier this month that helped maintain direct communication between Washington and Tehran despite heightened tensions.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar held a phone call on Monday with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, with both sides agreeing to step up efforts for peace.
The talks come as a 14-day ceasefire between the United States and Iran, brokered by Pakistan earlier this month, approaches its expiry on April 22, adding urgency to efforts to secure an extension or broader agreement.
