Pakistan has expressed confidence from both the United States and Iran in its role as a mediator, with talks expected in the "coming days" amid a deepening conflict in the Middle East.
Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced that Islamabad is preparing to facilitate talks between Washington and Tehran, though it remains unclear whether these will be direct or indirect engagements.
However, there was no immediate response from either the United States or Iran on the proposed talks.
The initiative gained backing from regional powers after foreign ministers from Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia met in Islamabad.
Pakistan has been engaged in backchannel diplomacy for weeks, officials said, before making its efforts public.
Despite Pakistan's push, there are signs of resistance from Tehran, with Iran's parliament speaker dismissing the proposed talks and linking them to recent US military movements in the region.
