Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, has praised Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts in ongoing talks between Iran and the United States, saying that a “positive stride” is taking shape towards a possible peace agreement. The statement came amid increasing diplomatic activity aimed at reducing tensions in the Middle East after months of conflict and uncertainty in the region.
The Iranian envoy shared his remarks on social media after Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi returned from Tehran following discussions with senior Iranian officials. According to the ambassador, Pakistan’s mediation efforts have helped create cautious optimism about the future of negotiations between Tehran and Washington. He said progress would depend on whether the United States remains committed to the diplomatic process and respects the terms being discussed.
Moghadam also appreciated the role played by Pakistan’s leadership, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Army Chief Asim Munir, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi. He said their “sincere efforts” and diplomatic engagement could help bring long-term peace and stability to the region.
Pakistan has recently emerged as an important mediator in talks linked to the ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States. Reports suggest Islamabad has been hosting backchannel discussions and helping both sides continue negotiations during a fragile ceasefire period. Pakistani officials have repeatedly said their main goal is to prevent a larger regional conflict and reopen diplomatic channels between Tehran and Washington.
The peace discussions are also connected to efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes. The waterway has faced major disruptions due to military tensions and naval activity in the Gulf region. US President Donald Trump recently claimed that a possible agreement with Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz were “largely negotiated,” although some issues still remain unresolved.
Despite signs of progress, important disagreements continue between both countries. Iran has reportedly demanded sanctions relief, security guarantees, and recognition of its regional concerns, while the United States continues to push for restrictions related to Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. Iranian leaders have also warned that trust remains a major issue in the negotiations after years of tensions and military confrontations.
International analysts believe Pakistan’s involvement has helped keep communication open between the two sides during a difficult period. Regional countries including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates are also supporting diplomatic efforts to avoid another major conflict in the Middle East. Experts say any successful agreement between Iran and the United States could improve regional security, stabilize global oil markets, and reduce tensions across the Gulf region.
