Pakistan’s Ambassador to Moscow, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, stated in an interview with TASS that there are closed contacts regarding the current conflict between Washington and Tehran. We are negotiating, and we are a channel of communication both between the US and Iran," the Pakistani diplomat noted, commenting on the situation surrounding the Iranian-US conflict. He emphasized that the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed in June serves as confirmation of Pakistan’s effective mediating role. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding providing for an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon. However, the United States resumed large-scale airstrikes on Iran early on July 8, accusing Tehran of violating previous agreements on the Strait of Hormuz.
