Donald Trump has indicated that future US diplomatic engagement with Iran could involve Pakistan as a possible venue, according to remarks attributed to him in an interview with the New York Post.
He suggested that developments could occur within the next couple of days and implied that discussions might take place in Pakistan rather than in a traditional third-country location. Trump said the preference for Pakistan was linked to logistical and political considerations, and he praised Pakistan’s military leadership, referring to the country’s “Field Marshal” and describing their performance as strong.
The comments point to a potential shift in thinking within US circles about where to hold any renewed talks involving Iran and the United States. Pakistan has been mentioned as a possible facilitator in regional diplomacy due to its relationships with both Western governments and Middle Eastern states, as well as its past involvement in indirect communication channels.
While no official confirmation has been given by Islamabad, Pakistan has previously been viewed as a potential intermediary in sensitive regional negotiations. Its role has gained attention following its reported involvement in recent ceasefire diplomacy connected to tensions in the Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz situation.
As of now, neither Pakistan nor Iran has formally confirmed any scheduled talks or agreed diplomatic arrangements.
