Pakistan is launching a new diplomatic initiative in the Middle East following inconclusive ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran, which took place in Islamabad. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to visit Saudi Arabia within the next 48 hours, responding to an invitation from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. During this visit, Sharif will brief Saudi leaders on the recent negotiations and discuss the broader security situation in the region. Field Marshal Asim Munir is likely to accompany him, highlighting the strategic importance of the trip. Following Saudi Arabia, Sharif may also travel to Turkey to continue diplomatic efforts aimed at stabilizing the region. The US-Iran talks concluded without an agreement, creating uncertainty as the current truce is set to expire on April 22. US Vice President JD Vance emphasized the need for assurances from Iran regarding its nuclear ambitions, while Iran maintains that its nuclear program is for civilian use. Control of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz remains a significant issue in ongoing negotiations, with the US proposing conditions related to Iran's nuclear and missile programs.
