Islamabad says it is still waiting for a formal confirmation from Iran regarding its participation in the upcoming peace talks in the capital. According to officials, the current ceasefire period is set to end early Wednesday at 4:50 am, which has made the situation more urgent and sensitive.
To begin with, Federal Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar said Pakistan is actively engaging with Iranian leadership. He added that Pakistan is working as a mediator and remains in constant contact with both sides to keep diplomatic channels open.
In addition, he stressed that dialogue remains the only way forward. Pakistan, he said, is fully committed to encouraging both Iran and other stakeholders to resolve issues through talks instead of conflict. However, uncertainty remains as Iran has not yet confirmed its delegation’s arrival for the second round of discussions.
Growing Pressure as Deadline Creates Regional Uncertainty
Meanwhile, the approaching deadline has increased pressure on all parties involved. Officials note that if the ceasefire expires without progress in talks, the situation in the region could become more tense and unstable.
Furthermore, Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts are being closely watched by the international community. The country is trying to bring both sides to the table and avoid any return to escalation. Authorities believe that continued dialogue is the only way to prevent further conflict.
In addition, reports suggest that recent statements from global leaders and Iran’s cautious response have added to the uncertainty surrounding the negotiations. While Pakistan continues its efforts, the final decision now depends on Tehran’s response.
At the same time, diplomatic observers say the timing is critical. With the ceasefire deadline approaching, Iran faces growing pressure to decide whether it will take part in the talks or allow tensions to rise again.
Overall, Pakistan remains hopeful but cautious. The coming hours are seen as important, as they may determine whether diplomacy succeeds or the region moves back toward instability.
