Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian has confirmed Tehran’s participation in Pakistan-offered peace talks with the United States in Islamabad to finalise a peaceful settlement to their conflict, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said on Wednesday.

The confirmation came during a phone call with PM Shehbaz Sharif this afternoon, which lasted for over 45 minutes, according to PMO.

The US has not yet confirmed its participation in the talks, the invitation of which was extended by PM Shehbaz for April 10 (Friday). White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said earlier on Wednesday that “nothing is final until announced by the President or the White House”.

According to the PMO statement, Pezeshkian “confirmed that Iran would be participating in the negotiations in Islamabad”.

Terming the conversation “warm and cordial”, the PMO said the premier conveyed his “deep appreciation for the wisdom and sagacity of the Iranian leadership in agreeing to the ceasefire and for accepting the prime minister’s offer to host negotiations between Iran and the US in Islamabad later this week”.

The prime minister also conveyed his respects to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

According to PMO, President Pezeshkian thanked PM Shehbaz and “appreciated the efforts of the Pakistani leadership to bring about a temporary ceasefire between Iran and the US and conveyed his best wishes for the people of Pakistan”.

PM Shehbaz also invited delegations from both sides to Islamabad on April 10 to “further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes”.

US President Donald Trump, responding to Pakistan’s request to “extend the deadline for two weeks”, had announced he would suspend the bombing of Iran for two weeks if Tehran fully reopened the vital Strait of Hormuz.

In turn, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi shared a statement on behalf of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council declaring that if attacks against the country were halted, it would cease its defensive operations.

So now that there is a temporary pause on export restrictions, any deals in the works with Iran to purchase oil and/or petroleum products? Maybe some pipelines to come back in the works?

I'd think that'd be a priority since it could decrease costs significantly (especially long term w/ pipelines).

This whole narrative being built that a pro Zionist Iran will somehow be a threat to Pakistan is bogus. For 40 years Iran was under a highly pro Zionist shah and guess what we had a great relationship with that Iran ..we were strategic partners under Cento. Hamid mir et al have been pushing this narrative . I don’t think regime change in Iran will have any impact in Pakistan if you look at history

At that time , the zionist state of Israel wasnt this much ambitious. Today, it want to swallow Lands of Syria, Iraq, egypt and lenanon. And destroy all possible and capable forces that may put hurdle into its path.
