US President Donald Trump sparked speculation about Pakistan's potential role in mediating between Washington and Tehran by sharing Sharif's post on his Truth Social account. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has offered to host talks between the US and Iran, aiming to bring an end to the ongoing war. In a post on X, Sharif expressed Pakistan's willingness to facilitate "meaningful and conclusive talks" between the two nations, subject to mutual agreement. Subject to concurrence by the US and Iran, Pakistan stands ready and honoured to be the host to facilitate meaningful and conclusive talks for a comprehensive settlement of the ongoing conflict," Pakistan PM wrote. Trump had previously announced a five-day pause in fighting, claiming "productive talks" with Iran, but Tehran has firmly pushed back against these claims.
