Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defense Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir, in Islamabad as part of ongoing mediation efforts between the US and Iran.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said Foreign Minister Araghchi has arrived in Islamabad for meetings with Pakistani officials as part of their mediation efforts to end what he called the “American imposed war of aggression.”
Baqaei said no meeting is planned between Iran and the US, and that Iran’s positions will be conveyed to Pakistan.
US Under Secretary of War Elbridge Colby said President Trump has rightly demanded Europe step up its defense contributions and that NATO “must no longer be a paper tiger.”
He pointed to the Hague Commitments as a starting point but stressed that action is now needed, quoting NATO Secretary General Rutte’s call for “air defense systems, drones, ammunition, radars, space capabilities” to ensure security.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had “an excellent conversation with President Trump,” who is applying strong economic and military pressure on Iran in full cooperation with Israel.
He said Israel has begun a process toward historic peace with Lebanon but that Hezbollah is “trying to sabotage this.”
Netanyahu said Israel is maintaining full freedom of action against all threats, adding “we attacked yesterday and we attacked today” and vowing to restore security to northern residents.
