Analysis based on 6 articles · First reported Mar 25, 2026 · Last updated Mar 25, 2026
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East, involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, has disrupted trade routes through the Strait of Hormuz, impacting international energy markets and global economic stability. Pakistan's diplomatic efforts to mediate a ceasefire could lead to de-escalation, potentially stabilizing oil prices and reducing geopolitical risk premiums in financial markets.
Pakistan, led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, is actively engaged in diplomatic efforts to mediate a de-escalation of the conflict between the United States and Iran. Sharif briefed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on these efforts and offered Pakistan's readiness to host 'meaningful and conclusive talks' between the United States and Iran. This offer was acknowledged by US President Donald Trump. The United States has reportedly sent a 15-point peace plan and ceasefire proposal to Iran via Pakistan. The conflict escalated following a joint US-Israel attack on Iran on February 28, which resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, leading to Iranian retaliation across the Gulf region. Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has also held discussions with officials from the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and China, emphasizing dialogue and diplomacy as the path forward. Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, has also been involved as an intermediary.
