Pakistan rejects media reports of collapse of initiative to facilitate U.S., Iran talks

Pakistan dismisses media claims of stalled U.S.-Iran dialogue facilitation, calling them baseless and urging accurate reporting.

Pakistan on Saturday (April 4, 2026) rejected media reports that its initiative to facilitate talks between the U.S. and Iran to end the ongoing conflict in West Asia had hit obstacles after initial exchange of peace proposals.

Speculation emerged after a senior official of the Foreign Ministry briefed a select group of journalists on Pakistan’s efforts to find a negotiated settlement of the ongoing conflict.
