Pakistan Mediates Between US and Iran Amid New Proposals

Iran is actively drafting a response to new proposals from the United States, marking a significant development in diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions in the Middle East. The move comes as mediators, including Pakistan, intensify efforts to bridge the gap between Tehran and Washington.

According to an Iranian news agency, the US message has helped reduce some differences between the two sides. Tehran is reportedly discussing a broad framework, specific details, and confidence-building measures that would act as guarantees. However, Iranian sources stress that a complete cessation of “war threats” from the US is essential to further close the remaining gaps.

The diplomatic overture has reportedly caused friction between the US and its key ally, Israel. US media outlets claim a “bitter exchange” occurred during a phone call between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding a potential deal. President Trump is said to have informed Netanyahu that mediators are working on a “letter of intent” for both the US and Iran to sign.

These developments are part of a broader push to prevent a wider conflict in the region. Pakistan has been actively engaged in a major diplomatic initiative, leveraging its position to facilitate dialogue and find a peaceful resolution to the standoff between the United States and Iran.
