Pakistan will host Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt for talks from Sunday on the Iran war as Islamabad positions itself as a potential venue for US-Iran negotiations on the month-old conflict. ADVERTISEMENTTurkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan said the meeting would seek to establish a mechanism aimed at de-escalation. Pakistan has conveyed to Tehran a US proposal for ending the war and offered to host talks, with Iranian officials indicating any negotiations could take place in Pakistan or Turkey. US President Donald Trump has said talks with Iran ​were going "very well," but Tehran denies talking with Washington. Iran has been reviewing the 15-point US proposal, although one official has dismissed it as "one-sided and unfair".
