Pakistan to host Iranian officials as Trump’s patience wears thin
Pakistan has invited Iran’s parliament speaker and foreign minister for urgent consultations on regional developments, as Tehran described Islamabad as its primary mediator with the US. National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq invited Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s chief negotiator with Washington and speaker of parliament, while Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar invited his Iranian counterpart, Seyyed Abbas Araghchi.
The invitations came after US President Donald Trump canceled imminent strikes against Iran, citing allies urging him to hold off as a deal appeared imminent.
