Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and his Iranian counterpart expressed concern over the evolving situation in the region as the conflict in the Middle East drags on. Pakistan’s leadership has since ramped up its diplomatic efforts to play its part in managing the tensions, particularly between Iran and the Gulf states. In a post on X, the Foreign Office said the deputy prime minister spoke with Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi. “The DPM/FM expressed concern over the evolving regional situation. The two agreed to remain in touch on the development.” Dar previously said Pakistan was actively working to promote de-escalation between the US and Iran through diplomatic engagement and backchannel contacts, while expressing concern over what he described as a “sudden” coordinated attack by the US and Israel on Iran.
