Pakistani Prime Minister Offers to Host Peace Talks -- WSJ

By Shan Li

Pakistan is making efforts to mediate talks between the U.S. and Iran to end the war and has offered to play host to negotiations, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said. In a Tuesday post on X in which he tagged President Trump, White House envoy Steve Witkoff and the Iranian foreign minister, Sharif said that Pakistan supports efforts to resolve the conflict.

"Pakistan stands ready and honored to be the host to facilitate meaningful and conclusive talks for a comprehensive settlement of the ongoing conflict," he wrote. Islamabad is trying to leverage its warm ties with Trump, who hosted its powerful army chief Amir Munir last year at the White House, and its longstanding relationships with Iran and other major countries in the region.

Pakistan also signed a mutual defense pact with Saudi Arabia in September, under which an attack on one country would be treated as an attack on both. Pakistan is home to the world's largest population of Shia Muslims outside Iran and relies heavily on energy exports from the Persian Gulf.
