Pakistan has urged Iran and the United States to uphold the ongoing ceasefire, with Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar saying it was crucial for both sides to uphold their commitments. This was reported by Al Jazeera on Sunday (April 12). "It is very important that both sides maintain the ceasefire.
We hope that they will move forward with positive attitudes through negotiations towards sustainable peace and prosperity. This is not only for the region, but for the entire world," Ishaq Dar said in a statement.
He said Pakistan will continue to play its role in facilitating dialogue and engagement between Iran and the United States in the future. Ishaq Dar expressed gratitude to both sides for acknowledging Pakistan's mediation efforts.
He also expressed hope that both sides would maintain a "positive attitude" and move towards a lasting solution. Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance is returning to the United States without any agreement in talks with Iran, according to a report on Al Jazeera on Sunday (April 12).
Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, Vance first thanked the Pakistani prime minister and army chief for their "extraordinary hospitality" and said that Pakistan was not responsible for any shortcomings in the talks.
The US Vice President said, "We have been in talks with Iran for the last 21 hours and we have discussed a number of important issues. That is the good news at this point."
However, he admitted, the bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And that is worse news for Iran than for the United States. He said that the United States has clearly outlined its 'red lines' or unacceptable boundaries. It has been made clear what concessions are possible and what are not.
But because Iran did not accept those conditions, there was no agreement. It is worth noting that a direct meeting was held in Islamabad between the top leadership of the United States and Iran under the mediation of Pakistan. They met directly after 47 years with the aim of finding a permanent solution to the Iran-Iraq war and the Middle East crisis.
The representatives, led by US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Bagher Ghalibaf, discussed the Lebanon crisis and the release of Iran's frozen funds. The peaceful meeting is being seen as a remarkable breakthrough in resolving the crisis. Analysts see it as a sign of moving away from conflict and toward diplomacy.
