Turkey and Pakistan Potential ‘Hosts’ for US-Iran Talks – Diplomatic Contacts Possible

Pakistan has relayed a US proposal to Iran aimed at ending the war, while either Pakistan or Turkey could host talks to de-escalate the conflict in the Gulf, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Wednesday. The statements, made anonymously due to the sensitivity of the matter, are among the few indications that Tehran is willing to consider diplomatic initiatives, despite publicly denying it is in negotiations with the Trump administration. The Iranian source did not reveal details of the proposal relayed through Pakistan, but indicated that Turkey is also contributing to efforts to end the conflict. The news led to a decline in oil prices and a recovery in international markets.
