Pakistan is reportedly gearing up to broker peace between Iran and the US amid a raging war that recently entered the fourth week. The White House has refused to confirm the development, cautioning against believing speculation before any official announcement.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said: 'These are sensitive diplomatic discussions, and the US will not negotiate through the press. This is a fluid situation, and speculation about meetings should not be deemed as final until they are formally announced by the White House.'
Reports suggest that Islamabad may be the destination for negotiations between American and Iranian officials, with Pakistan positioning itself as a 'lead mediator' to broker peace amid the ongoing war.
US President Donald Trump claimed that Iran was eager for a deal and that Kushnar and Witkoff were in talks with an Iranian leader on Sunday, but Iran's Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf later rubbished his claims saying no negotiations had taken place.
