Tehran: Iran has rejected Pakistan’s attempt to act as a mediator in the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, saying it does not need any external help for dialogue at this time.
The reaction came after Pakistan offered to host talks and present itself as a bridge between Iran and the United States. Islamabad had expressed hope that it could help reduce tensions by encouraging discussions among key countries involved in the conflict.
However, Iranian officials made it clear that they are not part of any such mediation effort. They said no direct talks are taking place through Pakistan and described the proposals being discussed as not acceptable.
Iran also stated that any meetings or forums organised by Pakistan are its own initiatives and should not be seen as involving Tehran. The country maintained that its position on the issue remains firm and unchanged.
The development shows the challenges facing diplomatic efforts in the region. While some countries are trying to open channels for dialogue, Iran has taken a cautious approach and insists that any future talks must respect its terms.
As tensions continue in the Middle East, the lack of agreement on mediation highlights the difficulty of finding a common path toward peace.
