Pakistan is continuing diplomatic efforts to bring the United States and Iran back to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding while negotiations focus on de-escalation and the Strait of Hormuz. The initiative places Islamabad in an active intermediary role between the two belligerents.
Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Hussain Andrabi said discussions are ongoing to normalize the situation, with the security and navigation conditions around Hormuz forming a central part of the agenda.
Pakistan wants the parties to return to the memorandum so that outstanding obstacles can be addressed within its framework. Islamabad also linked that process to the Pakistan-Qatar joint statement, indicating a coordinated diplomatic track rather than an exclusively bilateral effort.
The Foreign Office described Gulf security as precarious despite relative calm in recent days. That assessment treats the pause in attacks as an opening for negotiation but not as proof that the underlying military and maritime risks have ended.
Pakistan welcomed attempts to preserve the cessation of hostilities and resume direct dialogue. Its position is that negotiations remain the only viable route for reducing the risk of renewed attacks and stabilizing a waterway central to regional energy and commercial traffic.
Islamabad said it would continue promoting peace and stability, but no timetable or specific negotiating outcome was announced. The immediate diplomatic test is whether the existing pause can be converted into renewed adherence to the memorandum before another military incident disrupts the talks.
