Some reports claimed the US delegation has already arrived in Islamabad for talks but there was no official confirmation. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif held a telephone conversation with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, reaffirming solidarity with Iran while urging restraint and dialogue. He underscored the urgent need for collective diplomatic efforts and stressed that unity within the Muslim Ummah was "more critical than ever." A Financial Times report said Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir held a conversation with President Trump to discuss the evolving situation. While Islamabad has not officially confirmed hosting talks, diplomatic sources say the option remains on the table, particularly in light of Trump's public signal of support.
