Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, has stated that Pakistan’s diplomatic endeavours to stop the ongoing war are approaching a critical and sensitive stage. The Iranian envoy described Pakistan’s mediation efforts as “positive and productive,” highlighting Islamabad’s key role in facilitating back-channel talks between Iran and the United States.

Pakistan has been actively mediating between Washington and Tehran, recently conveying Iran’s detailed 10-point response to the US war-end proposal. Iran rejected any temporary ceasefire and insisted on a permanent end to the conflict, along with lifting of sanctions and security guarantees.

Pakistan has emerged as a central facilitator in the crisis. Reports indicate that Islamabad has helped draft frameworks such as the proposed “Islamabad Accord,” which includes an immediate ceasefire followed by broader negotiations, reopening of the Strait of Hormuzand a regional stability mechanism.

• Pakistan’s Army Chief and Foreign Ministry have maintained continuous contact with US and Iranian officials.
• The mediation comes as military actions continue, including recent strikes on Iranian cities like Shiraz and energy facilities on both sides.
• Iran has conveyed its “maximalist” 10-clause reply via Pakistan, demanding permanent peace rather than short-term pauses.

Analysts note that the coming days will be decisive. While Pakistan continues its “positive and productive” role, success depends on narrowing differences over sanctions relief, security guarantees, and reopening vital sea lanes.
