ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar emphasised the importance of dialogue and diplomacy in promoting peace and ensuring stability in the region and beyond.

He said this during a telephonic conversation with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Jordan Ayman Safadi on Sunday, a Foreign Office statement said.

The two leaders expressed deep concern over the evolving regional situation.

Ishaq Dar, in his remarks, stressed the urgent need for de‑escalation and the importance of dialogue and diplomacy as essential for peace and stability in the region and beyond.

Earlier, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the country could sustain an intense war with the United States and Israel for at least six months, as Israeli forces launched fresh strikes in Iran and Lebanon and the widening conflict sent shockwaves across the Middle East and global energy markets.

The war, which began after large-scale US and Israeli strikes against Iran on February 28, has now entered its second week and triggered attacks across several countries, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Iran, Kuwait, and Lebanon.

Israeli strikes targeted fuel facilities in Tehran and senior Iranian commanders in Beirut, while Iranian drones and missiles struck several areas across the Gulf.

Regional governments have warned that the conflict risks destabilising the wider Middle East and disrupting global oil supplies.
