Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said he held a detailed phone conversation with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that lasted for more than an hour on Saturday, as regional tensions continue to escalate.
In a post on X, Sharif said he briefed the Iranian leader on Pakistan’s ongoing diplomatic outreach, including engagement with the United States and Gulf countries to help facilitate dialogue and de-escalation.
Pakistan has earlier expressed its willingness to host talks between the US and Iran, positioning itself as a potential mediator in the crisis.
Sharif also condemned Israeli strikes on Iran and conveyed Pakistan’s solidarity with the Iranian people, according to his statement.
