US EditionPakistan, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, Egypt Begin Talks on US-Iran War in Islamabad
Four-nation talks aim to build trust and unify regional support for direct US-Iran negotiations, with China backing Pakistan's mediation efforts, officials said.
- On Sunday, Islamabad began hosting two-day consultations involving foreign ministers from Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Pakistan to coordinate regional support for pushing the United States and Iran toward direct diplomatic engagement.
- Originally planned for Ankara, the meeting relocated to Islamabad as Pakistan solidified its role as central interlocutor, relaying messages between Washington and Tehran to establish a coordinated four-country diplomatic track.
- Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently held a 90-minute call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, while China expressed support for the regional initiative as Tehran seeks guarantees regarding hostilities and strategic leverage in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Diplomats suggest potential talks between United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi could occur within days if current contacts hold, provided Washington announces a temporary pause in strikes.
- Officials note the next 48 to 72 hours are critical for determining whether this diplomatic push produces a meeting, with final decisions regarding de-escalation remaining with leaders in Washington and Tehran.
