Indirect negotiations between the United States and Iran are underway with the mediation of Pakistan, according to an official confirmation from Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, while in parallel diplomatic efforts to end the conflict continue, with Islamabad acting as a mediator for the exchange of messages between the two sides.
Dar, who also holds the position of deputy prime minister, described any speculation regarding peace talks as "unnecessary", explaining that there is communication and it is taking place through transmitted messages.
"In fact, indirect US-Iran talks are taking place through messages transmitted from Pakistan," he said in a post on X.
As he noted, the US has forwarded 15 points for consideration by the Iranian side, while "brotherly countries" such as Turkey and Egypt are also assisting in this initiative.
Dar's statements are the first official confirmation from Islamabad that Pakistan is playing an active role as a mediator between the two countries.
Two senior officials had previously told AFP that the US plan "was transmitted to Iran via Pakistan", but asked to remain anonymous as they were not authorised to make public statements.
Pakistan is seen as a suitable mediator because of its long-standing relations with neighboring Iran and the United States, as well as its contacts with countries in the region.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Ishaq Dar are in regular contact with senior Iranian government officials, as well as their allies in the Persian Gulf, particularly Saudi Arabia.
Diplomatic efforts are also reportedly being led by Pakistan's army chief, Marshal Asim Munir, who officials said spoke to US President Donald Trump last Sunday.
"Messages are being exchanged through friendly countries," says Aragchi.
For his part, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denied that official negotiations were taking place with the Washington administration, but acknowledged that messages were being exchanged through "friendly countries."
"Our policy at the moment is to continue the resistance," he told state television. "We have no intention of negotiating - there have been no negotiations so far," he added.
