Pakistan is trying to position itself as a mediator in the ongoing Iran conflict, with possible US-Iran talks likely in Islamabad. Officials said the country is using ties with both sides to support dialogue. Army chief Asim Munir spoke to US President Donald Trump, while Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif held talks with Iran’s president. Iran confirmed it received messages via “friendly states” but denied direct talks. Pakistan said it will play a “constructive role” in peace efforts. However, officials say talks remain at an early stage with no clear breakthrough yet. (PC: NDTV)
