Pakistan has reiterated the importance of maintaining peace in the Middle East, with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar emphasizing that the current US Iran ceasefire must remain intact to prevent further instability in the region.
During a telephone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, Dar discussed recent regional developments and expressed concern over reports of continued tensions and ceasefire violations. According to Pakistan’s Foreign Office, the deputy prime minister highlighted the need to preserve existing understandings between all parties and avoid actions that could undermine ongoing diplomatic efforts.
Dar also voiced concern regarding reported Israeli military activities in Lebanon, stressing that any escalation could threaten broader regional stability. He noted that maintaining the ceasefire is essential for creating an environment where diplomatic engagement can continue and long term peace efforts can succeed.
On the other hand, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi acknowledged Pakistan’s constructive diplomatic role during recent regional tensions. He requested Islamabad to continue supporting efforts aimed at reducing tensions and encouraging dialogue among the involved parties. Araghchi emphasized that diplomatic engagement remains crucial in preventing further conflict.
Pakistan has played an active role in promoting dialogue and de escalation since tensions intensified in the region. Through diplomatic contacts and mediation efforts, Islamabad has consistently advocated peaceful solutions and encouraged communication between key stakeholders.
Meanwhile, international attention remains focused on developments in Lebanon and the broader Middle East. Reports of military movements and ceasefire concerns have raised fears about a possible expansion of conflict. Global leaders continue to call for restraint and adherence to ceasefire commitments to avoid worsening humanitarian and security challenges.
The conversation between Dar and Araghchi reflects Pakistan’s continued commitment to regional peace and stability. By supporting diplomatic initiatives and encouraging dialogue, Islamabad aims to contribute to efforts that can help prevent further escalation and promote lasting security across the region.
As regional tensions remain sensitive, maintaining the US Iran ceasefire is increasingly viewed as a key factor in preventing a wider conflict and preserving diplomatic progress.
