He noted that as talks move forward with Pakistan\u2019s support, the United States should remain cautious of being pulled back into conflict by \u201cill-wishers,\u201d adding that the United Arab Emirates should also exercise restraint.

The crucial energy trade route has remained largely blocked since the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran in February, a conflict that has resulted in thousands of deaths across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Separately, Pakistan\u2019s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar held a telephone conversation with Araghchi on Monday. The two leaders discussed the evolving regional situation as well as ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at promoting peace and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the call, the Iranian foreign minister praised Pakistan\u2019s constructive role and acknowledged its sincere mediation efforts. According to Pakistan\u2019s Foreign Office, Dar reaffirmed the country\u2019s commitment to fostering positive engagement in the region, stressing that dialogue and diplomacy remain the only viable paths to resolving disputes peacefully and ensuring long-term stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that ongoing talks with the United States are showing progress, crediting Pakistan\u2019s \u201cgracious efforts\u201d for facilitating the dialogue.
