The shift toward diplomacy is said to follow advice from Gulf allies cautioning that attacks on civilian infrastructure might escalate the conflict.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1435\">Despite these developments, <strong data-start=\"1171\" data-end=\"1204\">direct talks remain uncertain<\/strong>. Iran has denied any ongoing negotiations, and media sources indicate that no confirmed direct communications have taken place since hostilities began, although Trump claims that progress has been made through indirect channels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1437\" data-end=\"1840\">The U.S. reportedly shared a <strong data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1511\">15-point framework with Iran via Pakistan<\/strong>, covering restrictions on nuclear weapons development, limitations on military capabilities, curbs on support for proxy groups, and recognition of Israel. Trump has also stated that Washington seeks control over Iran\u2019s enriched uranium, allegedly stored beneath the Isfahan nuclear site struck during a U.S. operation in June.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1842\" data-end=\"2302\">Pakistan\u2019s role in facilitating dialogue has been highlighted by international media, with officials arranging <strong data-start=\"1953\" data-end=\"1988\">discreet communication channels<\/strong> between Iranian leaders and U.S. intermediaries such as Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Prime Minister <strong data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2111\">Shehbaz Sharif<\/strong> has maintained regular contact with regional and global leaders, including a recent call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, emphasizing peaceful resolution and regional cooperation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2304\" data-end=\"2572\">Foreign Office spokesperson <strong data-start=\"2332\" data-end=\"2357\">Tahir Hussain Andrabi<\/strong> confirmed that Pakistan is ready to host talks if both parties consent, reflecting the country\u2019s <strong data-start=\"2455\" data-end=\"2492\">neutral and constructive approach<\/strong> aimed at reducing regional tensions while maintaining strong diplomatic ties.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2574\" data-end=\"3046\">The ongoing conflict, which began on February 28 following U.S. and Israeli military action against Iran, has already caused over 2,000 casualties and significant economic disruption, including market instability, rising fuel prices, and global inflation concerns. Analysts say that a potential meeting involving U.S. and Iranian officials in Islamabad would be a <strong data-start=\"2938\" data-end=\"2966\">major diplomatic success<\/strong>, boosting Pakistan\u2019s international standing as a mediator committed to peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad : Reports from multiple international outlets suggest that Pakistan may host upcoming negotiations between the United States and Iran, following indications that Washington is now leaning toward dialogue after President Donald Trump shifted from threats to supporting talks with Tehran.
