Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif confirmed what defence minister Khawaja Asif said, while explaining that full efforts are still being made to resolve the conflict between US and Iran

Pakistan’s defence minister Khawaja Asif on Monday claimed “divine intervention" in Pakistan’s efforts to mediate between the United States and Iran to end the ongoing conflict in West Asia.

Asif said a second round of negotiations between the US and Iran will soon begin as “Allah is pleased with us" and “merciful to Pakistan".

This comes following a stalemate in talks held in Islamabad in order to achieve a complete halt in hostilities. Trump, in fact, has expressed indifference over whether Iran will return to the negotiation table. The negotiations between the US and Iran on Sunday (April 12) lasted 21 hours but US Vice President JD Vance said no agreement had been reached despite extensive discussions.

“Allah the Almighty is merciful to Pakistan, the prospects of renewed negotiations between America and Iran still exist," Asif said, adding that a new round of talks will soon begin.

He said after the negotiations, “the atmosphere is good" and nothing negative has come up. “Allah Almighty is pleased with us, the decision is made by the Higher Power," he added.

According to Reuters, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed what Asif said, while explaining that full efforts are still being made to resolve the conflict between the US and Iran.
