Pakistan, Iran explore path towards new talks with US in a China-initiated push: Reuters
Pakistan is weighing conditions for renewed diplomacy as China backs efforts to reopen talks that stalled after a June memorandum of understanding.
- Pakistan is exploring a path to resume stalled US-Iran talks following a push initiated by China, with exploratory discussions occurring during a visit by Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni to Islamabad this week.
- During his second visit to Islamabad in 10 days, Momeni met with Pakistani government leaders and army chief Asim Munir to advance diplomatic efforts China has consistently backed.
- The Houthis claimed responsibility for striking two Saudi oil tankers on Thursday, threatening global energy supplies; a Pakistani official stated a halt in attacks is a "pre-requisite for any talks to resume."
- Beijing, which relies on Red Sea trade routes, is unhappy that Iranian-backed attacks and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz are hitting its interests, and China stated it will "play an active role in restoring peace and tranquillity in the Middle East Gulf region as soon as possible."
- Despite the diplomatic push, all three sources cautioned that obstacles to any negotiations with the US remain high; previous efforts, including a 60-day window established in June, collapsed after both sides blamed each other for violations.
