In a significant diplomatic move, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar engaged with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in discussions on Friday. This meeting takes place as the United States and Iran appear near reaching an agreement to resolve a prolonged three-month conflict.

The talks underscore Pakistan's emerging role as a mediator in Middle Eastern conflicts, despite its lack of official diplomatic ties with Israel.
