Pakistan has intensified diplomatic engagement aimed at reviving stalled US–Iran peace talks, as Tehran reviews recent American responses to its latest proposal and tensions in the region continue to simmer.
Officials say Islamabad is working with both sides to improve communication channels and accelerate negotiations, with Pakistan playing a facilitating role in message exchange between Washington and Tehran.
The renewed diplomatic push comes as talks to stabilise the situation have shown limited progress since a fragile ceasefire earlier this year. At the same time, uncertainty around the Gulf region has added pressure on global energy markets, with rising oil prices raising concerns about inflation worldwide.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson said Tehran has received Washington’s latest position and is currently evaluating it. The discussions are reportedly based on a revised framework that includes multiple proposals exchanged through indirect channels.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has indicated that Washington is awaiting a clear response from Iran, suggesting a short window for progress while also warning of possible military action if negotiations fail. He reiterated that Iran must not move toward acquiring nuclear weapons and maintained a hardline stance on the issue.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has also warned that any renewed strikes would trigger a wider regional escalation, further increasing concerns over stability in the Gulf.
Reports suggest Iran recently submitted a revised proposal addressing several long-standing issues, including sanctions relief, frozen assets, maritime security arrangements, and troop deployments. However, US officials have previously rejected similar terms, leaving key disagreements unresolved.
According to international reporting, intelligence assessments indicate Iran is continuing to rebuild parts of its military capabilities during the ceasefire period, including drone production, raising concerns in Washington about the pace of rearmament.
Separately, Iranian and US representatives have reportedly exchanged messages via Pakistan regarding ceasefire wording and negotiation structure. Iranian officials confirmed receipt of US feedback and said it is under review.
Pakistan’s Interior Minister is currently visiting Iran as part of ongoing diplomatic engagement, reflecting Islamabad’s continued involvement in facilitating regional dialogue.
The situation remains highly fluid, with both sides maintaining pressure while leaving the door open for either rapid escalation or renewed negotiations depending on the outcome of ongoing exchanges.
