Pakistan is positioning itself as a potential mediator between the United States and Iran, with officials preparing to host a possible second round of talks despite lingering uncertainty. The effort highlights Islamabad’s diplomatic outreach at a time of heightened regional tensions and fragile US‑Iran engagement. The discussions matter as any renewed dialogue could ease pressure in the Middle East and shape regional security calculations for South Asia and beyond.
