Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Pakistan is ready and honored to provide a platform for meaningful dialogue between the two sides.
He shared this message publicly, showing that Pakistan wants to play a more active role in global peace efforts.
The development gained attention when US President Donald Trump reshared the offer on his social media platform. This move is being seen as a positive signal from Washington, suggesting interest in Pakistan’s mediation role.
Although Iran has publicly denied any plans for talks, sources say quiet diplomatic efforts may still be underway behind the scenes. Officials believe these efforts are among the most serious attempts to reduce tensions since the conflict began.
Pakistan is seen as a suitable mediator because it has good relations with both the United States and Iran. It also enjoys the trust of Gulf countries, which strengthens its position as a neutral platform.
Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi confirmed that Pakistan is actively working through diplomatic channels to help ease the situation. However, he stressed that such sensitive efforts require privacy and careful handling.

Reports claimed that a US delegation may have arrived in Islamabad, but there has been no official confirmation. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
He expressed concern over the conflict and stressed the need for dialogue and unity in the Muslim world. At the same time, Pakistan’s military leadership has been in contact with US officials to discuss the situation.
Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar also held talks with Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, and Turkiye’s foreign minister, Hakan Fidan. These efforts show that multiple countries are trying to reduce tensions through diplomacy.
Countries like Turkiye and Egypt are also helping in indirect communication between the two sides. Despite these efforts, experts say a breakthrough is not guaranteed due to deep mistrust between Iran and the United States.
Still, Pakistan’s role is being closely watched as it tries to bridge the gap between the two sides. If successful, this could mark a major diplomatic achievement for Pakistan on the global stage.
