On April 4, 2023, Pakistan's Foreign Office firmly rejected media reports suggesting that its initiative to facilitate peace talks between the United States and Iran had encountered significant obstacles. Spokesperson Tahir Andrabi called these claims 'baseless' and a 'figment of imagination,' urging media to rely on official statements for accurate information. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi echoed this sentiment, expressing gratitude for Pakistan's mediation efforts and denying any refusal to engage in dialogue.
