Pakistan’s foreign minister met his Iranian counterpart in New York during the UN General Assembly, as both nations seek to revive stalled peace talks. The meeting comes amid ongoing hostilities between the US and Iran, which began in early 2026. Pakistan, which previously brokered a framework for negotiations, continues to push for renewed dialogue despite the war’s economic impact.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian defied US pressure during a UN speech, rejecting accusations of targeting civilian areas. His remarks followed a US delegation walkout, highlighting deepening diplomatic rifts. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s prime minister expressed hope for renewed efforts to end the conflict, emphasizing the country’s role as a mediator.
The talks between the two foreign ministers focused on regional stability and bilateral relations. Despite tensions, both sides remain open to dialogue, though progress remains uncertain. The situation reflects broader geopolitical shifts as the war continues to affect global diplomacy and economic ties.
The UN setting underscores the international stakes, with Pakistan and Iran seeking to navigate complex alliances amid rising hostilities. As negotiations remain stalled, the region’s future hangs in the balance.
