Pakistan hosts regional talks on Middle East crisis - media

Consultations involving the heads of diplomatic missions from Pakistan, Egypt, Türkiye, and Saudi Arabia have begun in Islamabad, according to CNN.

The parties are focusing on de-escalation in the Middle East, as well as security issues.

According to the report, Pakistan — which maintains contacts with both Tehran and Washington — is playing a key mediating role, having previously shared a 15-point US peace plan with Iran.

However, analysts remain skeptical about the prospects for a swift breakthrough.
