Pakistan Pushes Iran to Join Nuclear Talks with Washington

Pakistan hopes to persuade Iran to join forthcoming negotiations with the United States, according to an unnamed government official in Islamabad.

Tehran has already sent positive signals, the official said, though the situation remains fluid. Pakistan is seeking to secure Iran's participation before talks begin, with negotiations expected to start within days.

The country is playing an active mediating role between Washington and Tehran as a deadline set by US President Donald Trump for the end of a ceasefire approaches.

It remains unclear whether Iran will ultimately take part, though intensive diplomatic communication is said to be ongoing.
