Iran Sends Reply via Pakistan in Iran Israel War Talks
Iran sent its response to a US proposal to end the iran israel war via mediator Pakistan, according to IRNA on Sunday. The exchange keeps the diplomatic channel moving after a period in which Israeli attacks continued despite a US-brokered ceasefire.
Kamal Hyder, the Al Jazeera correspondent in Islamabad, said Pakistan had received the Iranian response. Pakistan now sits between Tehran and Washington, carrying the message before any reaction from the United States.
Pakistan Receives Iran Response
Hyder said, “The Pakistanis are confirming that they have received the Iranian response to the US proposal.” He added, “Now Pakistan has received it, it will be important to see when it is communicated to the United States, and then to see the reaction from Washington.”
That sequence matters because the proposal cannot move forward until the United States receives Iran’s reply. For now, the only concrete step is the transfer of the message through Pakistan, not a public US response.
Talks Focus on Ending Hostilities
IRNA reported on Sunday that the first stage of the negotiations will focus on ending hostilities. A new round of talks is expected next week, giving the diplomatic track a near-term deadline without any public details on the format.
The war context remains active. The source says Israel killed at least 24 people in Lebanon in one day, and that there was no letup in Israeli attacks despite a US-brokered ceasefire. Those facts sit alongside the negotiation track, showing that the fighting and the talks are moving at the same time.
Qatar Warns on Strait of Hormuz
Qatar’s prime minister also warned Iran that using the Strait of Hormuz as a pressure card would only lead to deepening the crisis. The warning adds another layer to the talks: any leverage tied to the strait could complicate the effort to narrow the conflict.
For readers following the war diplomacy, the immediate next step is not a new statement from Iran. It is the moment Pakistan passes the response to the United States and Washington decides how to answer before the talks expected next week.
