Iran has officially rejected Pakistan’s claim of acting as a mediator between it and the United States to end the West Asia conflict, asserting it has not participated in any such diplomatic initiative even as the crisis enters its second month.
In a statement issued by its Mumbai consulate, Iran said there were “no direct talks” with the United States and accused Washington of making “excessive and unreasonable demands via intermediaries.” It also clarified that Pakistan’s diplomatic outreach was independent, stating, “We didn’t participate.”

Islamabad had positioned itself as a potential mediator and indicated plans to host talks involving Iran, the US and Israel. However, the absence of confirmation from Tehran and Washington has cast doubt over the credibility of these efforts.
