Pakistani Ambassador to Russia Faisal Niaz Tirmizi has warned that any renewed escalation between the United States and Iran would carry severe global consequences, underscoring the fragility of the current diplomatic thaw.
Speaking to TASS, the ambassador highlighted the strategic importance of the Persian Gulf, noting that the region accounts for 22% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas supplies.
This cautionary stance comes shortly after reports that Pakistan facilitated a comprehensive peace agreement between Washington and Tehran, a development that had briefly eased tensions in energy markets.
The ambassador’s remarks serve as a reminder that the underlying geopolitical fault lines remain active, and that the peace process is not yet immune to disruption.
For traders, the warning reinforces the need to monitor diplomatic channels closely, as any setback in US-Iran relations could quickly translate into supply-side risks for global energy flows.
The market’s reaction to the recent peace news has been tentative, with energy prices stabilizing but not fully discounting the risk of future volatility.
