Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar urged the U.S. and Iran to maintain their cease-fire commitments on Monday.
The call follows the conclusion of diplomatic talks that ended without a new agreement. This failure to reach a fresh accord increases the risk of renewed hostilities between the two nations, making the existing truce critical for regional stability.
Dar represented Pakistan in the effort to prevent a diplomatic breakdown. He said that the lack of a new deal does not excuse a return to conflict, a move that could destabilize neighboring regions.
"It is imperative that the parties continue to uphold their [commitments]," Dar said.
Pakistan has positioned itself as a mediator in the tension between the U.S. and Iran. By calling for the adherence to the cease-fire, Dar aims to ensure that the stalemate in negotiations does not lead to military escalation.
The diplomatic effort focused on bridging gaps between the two powers, but the parties were unable to finalize terms for a new arrangement. Despite the impasse, the Pakistani official said that the current peace must hold to avoid a broader crisis.
“It is imperative that the parties continue to uphold their [commitments]”
The failure to reach a new agreement suggests a persistent diplomatic gap between the U.S. and Iran. Pakistan's intervention highlights its strategic interest in preventing a regional conflict that could disrupt its own security and economic stability.
