Overview
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged Pakistan to continue using its 'good offices' to help de‑escalate tensions and support maintenance of the ceasefire, according to Pakistan’s Foreign Office.
- Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar held telephone talks with Araghchi in which both sides agreed to stay in close contact and continue consultations on regional security.
- Kuwait’s foreign minister praised Pakistan’s mediatory role and called Islamabad’s contribution constructive in efforts to facilitate engagement between the United States and Iran.
- Regional reporting says Iran is reviewing a U.S. proposal to halt the war, but those reports remain unconfirmed and indirect talks have not yet produced a clear agreement.
- The ceasefire remains fragile because of alleged Israeli violations in Lebanon and disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz, a dynamic that risks local incidents triggering wider escalation following the initial strikes in late February.
