Pakistan confirms US-Iran negotiations remain underway

Pakistan has confirmed that negotiations between the United States and Iran are continuing despite renewed tensions in the Middle East, with Islamabad saying it is making every effort to restore full implementation of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

Speaking at the Foreign Office’s weekly media briefing, spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said Pakistan remained deeply concerned about the deteriorating security situation in West Asia.

“After a few days of peace, the situation has once again become volatile,” Andrabi said, urging all parties to pursue dialogue instead of confrontation.

He said negotiations between the United States and Iran were continuing, particularly on de-escalation efforts and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.

“We are doing our utmost to bring all parties back to the Islamabad MOU,” Andrabi said, adding that Pakistan was encouraging both sides to fully adhere to their commitments and resume technical talks under the agreement.
