Pakistan confirms role in US-Iran indirect talks

Pakistan confirms role in US-Iran indirect talks

Pakistan has publicly acknowledged its role as a key mediator transmitting messages between the United States and Iran amid efforts to end a month-long war. Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stated on X that indirect talks are underway, with Islamabad relaying communications, including a 15-point US proposal currently under review by Tehran. This marks the clearest official confirmation of Pakistan's intermediary position, amid recent speculation.

Dar referenced US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, indicating high-level coordination. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi expects US-Iran talks in Islamabad this weekend, covering not only nuclear issues but also missiles, Iran-aligned militias, and security guarantees. CNN reports US Vice President JD Vance may attend, as Iranian officials prefer dealing with him over Witkoff or Jared Kushner due to trust issues from prior diplomacy.

Tehran has denied formal negotiations and rejected the US proposal as a basis for talks. The Iranian consulate in Mumbai posted on X that Iran will end the conflict only on its terms. Iran's five conditions include halting US and Israeli military operations, guarantees against future attacks, war reparations, cessation of hostilities by allies like Hezbollah and Hamas, and recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.

The US 15-point plan demands Iran dismantle nuclear capabilities, stop uranium enrichment, limit its missile program, and ensure free maritime passage through the strait, offering full sanctions relief and civilian nuclear aid in return. Gaps between positions remain wide, with analysts viewing current activity as preliminary messaging rather than full negotiations.
