Pakistan has completely rejected the reports in which it was being said that its efforts to hold talks between America and Iran have come to a halt. Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andarabi has termed these reports as baseless. He said that such claims are being made in some media reports and on social media, which have no connection with any official information.

According to the PTI report, Tahir Andarabi clearly said that the information given by any government source in this matter is wrong. According to him, this controversy has arisen due to misunderstanding of information about a closed meeting held in the Ministry of External Affairs. Andarabi appealed to the media not to run news without verification and to rely only on official statements, especially at a time when tensions are high in the region.

Pakistan rejected the reports

In fact, it was said in some reports that Pakistan worked to convey the message between America and Iran, but due to lack of clear response from Iran, the talks could not move forward. It was also claimed in a report that Iran has refused to meet any American delegation in Islamabad. According to these reports, both Pakistan and China tried to persuade Iran for talks, but till now Iran has not given any positive indication. However, Pakistan says that its efforts are still continuing and it remains in touch with Iranian President Masoud Pejeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

Threat looms on Strait of Hormuz

It is noteworthy that the war started in the Middle East after the attack by America and Israel on February 28, in which Iran’s top leader Ali Khamenei was also killed. After this, Iran retaliated and the conflict escalated. The impact of this war has spread to the Gulf region and has especially had a major impact on oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz.

Amidst the ongoing war in the Middle East, Pakistan has said that both America and Iran have expressed confidence in its mediation role. According to Pakistan, talks can start in the coming days on the issue related to ending the Iran war. However, it is not clear whether the talks will take place directly or through someone.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said that we are preparing for this. He said that both the countries have shown confidence in Pakistan, which is a right sign. However, till now no official information has been revealed on this from America and Iran.

Amidst the ongoing war in Iran, the foreign ministers of Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia have reached Islamabad, where they talked about the ongoing war in the Middle East and its impact. This war has now reached its fifth week and is affecting the world economy. Ishaq Dar said that this war is not in anyone’s interest and it will only cause loss. He also said that in this difficult time, unity of Muslim countries is very important. Pakistan was quietly trying to solve this matter for the last several weeks and now it has made it public.

Israeli Prime Minister indicated

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has indicated that military action may be increased further in Lebanon, which is likely to escalate the war. The biggest issue of the war in the Middle East remains the Strait of Hormuz, which is a very important route for the supply of oil and gas in the world. Due to the blockage in this area, oil prices are increasing and gas shortage is also being seen in many countries. If we look at it, the situation in the Middle East still remains quite dangerous, but Pakistan is trying to reduce this conflict through dialogue and move forward in the direction of peace.
