BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 9. Iranian delegation
arrives tonight in Islamabad for serious talks, Iran’s Ambassador
to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam wrote on his X account, Trend reports.
According to him, the visit is taking place at the invitation of
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and will focus on negotiations based
on a 10-point proposal put forward by Iran.
“Despite skepticism of Iranian public opinion due to repeated
ceasefire violations by the Israeli regime to sabotage the
diplomatic initiative, invited by Hon. PM Shehbaz Sharif, the
Iranian delegation arrives tonight in Islamabad for serious talks
based on 10 points proposed by Iran,” the publication reads.
On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched military operations
against Iran. Strikes were carried out against the country’s
largest cities, including Tehran. The White House justified the
attack by citing missile and nuclear threats emanating from the
Islamic Republic. As a result of the strikes on Iran, the country’s
Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and several other key
figures in the leadership were killed. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps announced a large-scale retaliatory operation against
Israel. Iran also targeted U.S. facilities in Bahrain, Jordan,
Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Syria with
ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones.
The conflict has placed the region’s energy infrastructure and
maritime shipping under serious threat. Due to security tensions in
the Strait of Hormuz, global oil prices have surged.
On April 7, the U.S. and Iran reached an agreement on a
temporary ceasefire lasting approximately two weeks, aimed at
preventing further escalation of hostilities and creating
opportunities for negotiations. According to reports, the agreement
was reached with Pakistan acting as a mediator. One of the key
points is Iran’s commitment to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to
international shipping, and the parties also agreed to cease
attacks and prepare for negotiations.
