Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called on Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to protect the "hard-won peace" between Tehran and Washington, following a fresh escalation in hostilities this week.
The appeal comes as diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region face renewed pressure after the US and Iran resumed mutual attacks, threatening to unravel the comprehensive peace agreement announced earlier in the month.
Sharif emphasized that Pakistan remains committed to acting as an "honest and sincere mediator" for lasting regional stability.

The Pakistani leader’s intervention underscores Islamabad’s strategic interest in preventing a broader conflict that could destabilize South Asia and disrupt global energy supply chains.
By positioning itself as a neutral broker, Pakistan seeks to leverage its diplomatic ties with both Tehran and Washington to de-escalate the crisis.
The renewed violence marks a significant setback for the peace process, which had been hailed as a breakthrough after intensive negotiations.
