Pakistan is preparing to host high-stakes talks between the United States and Iran aimed at ending a month-long conflict that has rattled the region, according to senior officials.

Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Sunday both Washington and Tehran have agreed in principle to Pakistan facilitating negotiations, which he indicated could take place within days. 

He did not clarify whether the discussions would be held face-to-face or through intermediaries, nor did he provide a specific timeline or venue. Officials from the United States and Iran have not yet publicly confirmed participation.

Dar made the announcement following a meeting of regional foreign ministers in Islamabad, where he said key players backed Islamabad’s diplomatic push. Representatives from Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia voiced support for Pakistan’s role in trying to de-escalate the conflict. 

A follow-up round of discussions among those nations is expected to take place Monday.

The diplomatic effort comes as tensions remain high. Iranian officials have warned the United States against any potential ground offensive, while continued fighting involving Israel has contributed to volatility in global oil markets.
