Pakistan is ready to host talks between the US and Iran to settle the conflict in the Middle East, prime minister Shehbaz Sharif said in a post on X on Tuesday.

He wrote:
Pakistan welcomes and fully supports ongoing efforts to pursue dialogue to end the WAR in Middle East, in the interest of peace and stability in region and beyond.

Subject to concurrence by the US and Iran, Pakistan stands ready and honoured to be the host to facilitate meaningful and conclusive talks for a comprehensive settlement of the ongoing conflict.

Earlier today, it was reported that Pakistan’s military leadership has been attempting to broker negotiations between the US and Iran, after the White House confirmed that Pakistan’s army chief, Asim Munir, had a call with Donald Trump on Sunday to discuss the conflict.

Diplomatic sources said the US and Iran could meet for negotiations in Islamabad as early as this week to discuss an end to the war, which began almost a month ago.

And your point is?

It's not a point it's a new development that people may be interested in.

If you're not interested in possible peace talks, you can move on.

Pakistani sources told the Guardian that the US vice-president Vance was being put forward as a probable chief negotiator for the US side if Iran peace talks in Pakistan went ahead.

Official sources in Tehran have denied any talks are under way.

However, potential intermediaries including Pakistan, Oman, Egypt and others have confirmed tentative efforts to establish channels of communication between Washington and Tehran.

A European official told Reuters that while there had been no direct negotiations between the two nations, Egypt, Pakistan and Gulf states were relaying messages.
