In March 2026, amidst an escalating US-Israel war on Iran, Pakistan offered to host peace talks between Iran and the United States. Pakistan's Foreign Minister convened a meeting with Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and Egypt, expressing Islamabad's readiness to broker meaningful discussions. Given Pakistan's close ties with both Tehran and Washington, it is seen as a potential facilitator for ending the conflict that began the previous month. Experts suggest this initiative could mark the beginning of a diplomatic effort to achieve a peaceful resolution. The feasibility of reaching a peace deal was discussed with analysts including a former Pakistani UN representative and directors from the International Crisis Group and TEPAV.
