The recent naval blockade announced by Yemen's Houthi movement against Saudi Arabia has complicated Islamabad's diplomatic position, given Pakistan's close strategic relationship with Riyadh and its strong economic ties with Beijing.\r\n\r\nPakistani officials have publicly condemned attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, while also seeking to maintain constructive relations with neighboring Iran as well as China, which has encouraged renewed diplomatic engagement to reduce instability across the Middle East.\r\n\r\nSources said Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar discussed the emerging diplomatic initiative with Chinese officials during his visit to Beijing last week.\r\n\r\nChina later confirmed it supports mediation efforts undertaken by Pakistan and other regional partners, saying it remains committed to helping restore stability in the Gulf region.\r\n\r\nChina has substantial economic interests in maintaining secure maritime trade routes. Continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea has affected regional shipping and energy supplies, creating additional incentives for diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing hostilities.\r\n\r\nBeijing remains Iran's largest trading partner and the principal buyer of Iranian crude oil despite international sanctions imposed on Tehran. China has also maintained broader economic and technological cooperation with Iran while repeatedly calling for a negotiated political solution to the conflict.\r\n\r\nPakistan's current efforts build on previous mediation attempts. Earlier this year, Pakistan and Qatar helped facilitate indirect understandings between Washington and Tehran that were intended to create a framework for broader negotiations.\r\n\r\nThose efforts ultimately failed to produce a lasting agreement, with both sides accusing each other of violating commitments before fighting resumed.\r\n\r\nThe latest escalation has further complicated diplomacy. Recent attacks targeting Saudi-linked shipping have heightened regional security concerns and increased pressure on mediators seeking to restart negotiations.\r\n\r\nOne Pakistani official said that ending attacks against Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states has become a necessary condition before meaningful negotiations between the United States and Iran can resume.\r\n\r\nAccording to the official, Islamabad has conveyed that position directly to Iranian authorities as part of its ongoing diplomatic contacts.","post_title":"Pakistan, Iran explore renewed US talks through China-backed

condemning reports that Israeli forces entered a hospital in Nablus after clashes that left four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers dead.\r\n\r\nIn a statement issued Friday, MSF's Head of Mission in Palestine, Filipe Ribeiro, said the organization was \"deeply alarmed\" by reports that Israeli forces stormed Nablus Specialized Hospital while military operations and confrontations unfolded elsewhere across the Nablus governorate.\r\n\r\nRibeiro said the latest violence should not be viewed as an isolated incident but as part of a broader pattern of Israeli military raids, settler attacks, disruption of essential public services and increasing pressure on Palestinian civilians and healthcare facilities throughout the occupied West Bank.\r\n\r\nHe stressed that hospitals, ambulances, medical workers and patients must be protected at all times under international humanitarian law, emphasizing that healthcare facilities should remain accessible to people requiring urgent medical treatment.\r\n\r\n\"It is unacceptable for hospitals, ambulances, staff and patients to be targeted by violence anywhere in Palestine,\" Ribeiro said.\r\n\r\nThe statement followed an order by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz for what they described as a wide-scale military operation across Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank after a deadly shooting near the illegal Havat Gilad settlement killed two Israeli soldiers.\r\n\r\nAccording to Palestinian officials and local reports, Israeli settlers later attacked several Palestinian communities in the Nablus area, setting fire to homes and other civilian property.\r\n\r\nThe Palestinian Health Ministry said four Palestinians were killed during an assault on the town of Tell, southwest of Nablus, involving Israeli settlers and Israeli forces.\r\n\r\nThe latest violence has further heightened tensions in the occupied West Bank, where military raids, settler attacks and

after the Israeli military issued new displacement orders covering multiple areas.\r\n\r\nThe humanitarian agencies warned that conditions in the territory remain dire despite a ceasefire that has been repeatedly violated.\r\n\r\nMedical sources said the latest strikes targeted several locations across Gaza, including Gaza City, the Bureij and Jabalia refugee camps, and the Zeitoun and Tal al-Hawa neighborhoods.\r\n\r\nA strike in Gaza City's Zeitoun district also injured multiple people, according to officials at Al-Ahli Hospital.\r\n\r\nResidents said the bombardment began after Israeli forces ordered civilians to evacuate four areas, prompting families to flee with little notice.\r\n\r\nWitnesses reported that some of the areas designated for evacuation were later struck, leaving displaced civilians with few safe places to seek shelter.\r\n\r\nCivil Defence teams continued battling a large fire triggered by one of the airstrikes in Gaza City as rescue crews searched damaged buildings.\r\n\r\nThe latest attacks come despite a US-brokered ceasefire that took effect last year. According to Gaza health authorities, at least 73,311 Palestinians have been killed since Israel's military campaign began, including more than 1,185 people killed after the ceasefire entered into force in October 2025.\r\n\r\nDiplomatic efforts over Gaza's future also remain stalled. During a meeting on the sidelines of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Summit in Manila, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty urged US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to accelerate plans for deploying an International Stabilization Force in Gaza and to establish an administrative committee to help govern the territory and reduce tensions.\r\n\r\nThe appeal followed reports in Israeli media that Moroccan security officers had visited Gaza as part of preparations for a possible multinational deployment. Morocco has previously announced plans to contribute security personnel and establish a field hospital in the enclave.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, United Nations agencies warned that Gaza's humanitarian emergency remains severe. A recent assessment found that approximately 1.4 million people\u2014about 67 percent of the population\u2014continue to face crisis-level or worse food insecurity, despite a slight improvement compared with the end of last year.\r\n\r\nRoss Smith, Director of Emergency Preparedness and Response at the UN World Food Programme, said the humanitarian situation remains \"critical\" and stressed the need for sustained humanitarian access, continued international funding, and unrestricted delivery of aid to civilians across Gaza.\r\n\r\nThe United Kingdom also called on Israel to remove restrictions affecting humanitarian operations, warning that limitations on aid deliveries continue to worsen food insecurity, disease outbreaks, water shortages, and the collapse of essential health services.","post_title":"2 Palestinians killed as Israeli airstrikes intensify across Gaza","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"2-palestinians-killed-as-israeli-airstrikes-intensify-across-gaza","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-07-24 21:04:32","post_modified_gmt":"2026-07-24 21:04:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=68225","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":68222,"post_author":"21","post_date":"2026-07-24 21:02:11","post_date_gmt":"2026-07-24 21:02:11","post_content":"NABLUS, Occupied West Bank (MNTV) \u2014 Israeli forces launched a large-scale military operation across the occupied West Bank after a confrontation involving Israeli settlers and Palestinian residents near the village of Tell left four Palestinians and two Israelis dead, sharply escalating tensions in the occupied territory.\r\n\r\nAccording to Palestinian officials, local witnesses and media reports, the violence began when armed Israeli settlers entered Tell, southwest of Nablus, near the illegal Israeli settlement of Havat Gilad.\r\n\r\nResidents said settlers attempted to enter residential areas, prompting villagers to confront them in an effort to protect their homes and property.\r\n\r\nWitnesses said Israeli soldiers were present during the confrontation and later opened fire alongside settlers.\r\n\r\nThe Palestinian Health Ministry said four Palestinians were killed and several others wounded, including multiple people reported to be in critical condition. The four Palestinians were identified as members of the same extended family.\r\n\r\nIsraeli authorities said two Israelis, including an army officer, were killed during the incident.\r\n\r\nThe military claimed the confrontation began after Israeli civilians entered the area for what it described as an unauthorized hike and alleged that a Palestinian seized a weapon from one of the settlers before opening fire.\r\n\r\nPalestinian witnesses disputed that account, saying the settlers initiated the violence after entering the village while armed.\r\n\r\nAfter the start of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, emboldened settlers have repeatedly attacked Palestinian residents in West Bank, killing herds and destroying their fields, with support of Israeli forces.\r\n\r\nVideo circulating from the scene appeared to show an armed settler confronting Palestinian residents before a struggle broke out over his rifle.\r\n\r\nFollowing the confrontation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered what his office described as a series of forceful crackdown across the occupied West Bank.\r\n\r\nThe Israeli military announced preparations for an \"extensive\" counterterrorism operation, surrounded the city of Nablus, imposed movement restrictions, and launched raids in surrounding Palestinian communities.\r\n\r\nIsraeli forces were also reported to have entered hospitals in Nablus while searching for people wounded during the violence. The military said it intended to arrest dozens of Palestinians it accused of involvement in the incident.\r\n\r\nNetanyahu also announced plans to accelerate the legalization of unauthorized settlement outposts and establish additional settlements in the occupied West Bank.\r\n\r\nIsraeli settlements in the occupied territory are considered illegal under international law, although Israel disputes that interpretation.\r\n\r\nPalestinian officials said the violence did not end in Tell. The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli settlers carried out attacks on several nearby Palestinian villages, setting fire to homes and damaging property.\r\n\r\nResidents and local leaders accused Israeli forces of failing to prevent the attacks and, in some cases, providing protection for the settlers.\r\n\r\nThe Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the killings, accusing Israeli authorities and settlers of acting in coordination against Palestinian civilians. Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi warned that Israel's policies in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem risk pushing the region toward wider instability.\r\n\r\nIsraeli opposition leader Yair Golan criticized the government's response, arguing that calls for expanded military operations and settlement construction would further inflame tensions rather than restore security.\r\n\r\nThe latest violence adds to growing unrest across the occupied West Bank, where attacks by Israeli settlers, military raids and armed confrontations have intensified alongside the broader regional conflict.\r\n\r\nAccording to Palestinian health authorities, 87 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers in the occupied West Bank since the beginning of 2026, including 21 reportedly killed by settlers.\r\n\r\nUnited Nations figures also show hundreds of Palestinians have been injured in settler-related attacks during the same period.","post_title":"4 Palestinians killed as Israel launches major West Bank military crackdown","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"4-palestinians-killed-as-israel-launches-major-west-bank-military-crackdown","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-07-24 21:02:11","post_modified_gmt":"2026-07-24 21:02:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=68222","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":68218,"post_author":"21","post_date":"2026-07-24 20:46:36","post_date_gmt":"2026-07-24 20:46:36","post_content":"WASHINGTON (MNTV) \u2014 US President Donald Trump said that he has not yet decided whether to authorize a significantly expanded military offensive against Iran, while warning that Washington remains prepared to escalate its military campaign if ongoing negotiations fail.\r\n\r\nSpeaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said the United States was continuing talks with Tehran but claimed Iranian officials had become \"more serious\" as weeks of US military strikes and regional tensions continue.\r\n\r\nAlthough he said no final decision had been made, Trump declared that US forces were \"locked and loaded,\" signaling that Washington was ready to launch broader attacks if diplomatic efforts did not produce an agreement. He warned Iran it would face a \"much higher level\" of military action if negotiations collapsed.\r\n\r\nThe United States says its military operations are intended to prevent Iran from closing the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.\r\n\r\nIran has responded with attacks on US military installations in the region, with Washington reporting that four American service members have been killed in the latest rounds of strikes starting mid July.\r\n\r\nThe conflict, which Trump previously suggested would last only four or five weeks, is now approaching its fifth month, raising political pressure on his administration ahead of November's congressional midterm elections.\r\n\r\nTrump reiterated that his administration's principal red line remains preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.\r\n\r\nUS media reported that Trump met senior national security advisers on Friday to discuss possible next steps.\r\n\r\nAccording to Axios, the president had previously indicated he was considering a \"massive attack\" against Iran as military options remain under review.\r\n\r\nTrump also repeated claims that Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin had assured him their countries would not provide weapons to Iran, despite reports suggesting both governments have supplied Tehran with intelligence during the conflict.\r\n\r\nHe warned that any transfer of weapons to Iran by either country would carry serious consequences.\r\n\r\nIn a post on his Truth Social platform earlier Friday, Trump cautioned Moscow and Beijing against arming Tehran, saying such a move would not be in their interests.\r\n\r\nHe also reiterated that the United States sells weapons to NATO allies rather than directly to Ukraine, adding that he does not control how those weapons are subsequently distributed.","post_title":"Trump threatens more assault on Iran while claiming diplomacy remains possible","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"trump-threatens-more-assault-on-iran-while-claiming-diplomacy-remains-possible","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-07-24 20:46:36","post_modified_gmt":"2026-07-24 20:46:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=68218","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":68215,"post_author":"21","post_date":"2026-07-24 20:25:42","post_date_gmt":"2026-07-24 20:25:42","post_content":"NEW DELHI, India (MNTV) \u2014 The BJP-led government of India's Uttar Pradesh state has permanently confiscated assets worth $46 million linked to slain Muslim politician and former lawmaker Atiq Ahmed, marking its biggest action against his estate since he was shot dead while in police custody more than three years ago.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe seizure includes properties valued at $35.7 million across Prayagraj, Lucknow and Kaushambi, along with more than $10.4 million held in 13 bank accounts. <\/span>\r\n\r\nState authorities said the assets, previously attached under India's Gangsters Act, have now been permanently confiscated after the completion of legal proceedings.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOfficials said the confiscated assets were registered in the names of Ahmed, his brother Ashraf Ahmed and his wife Shaista Parveen. Authorities maintain the properties were acquired through criminal proceeds and said the confiscation followed court-approved legal procedures.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAmong the assets taken over by the state is Ahmed's former office in Prayagraj's Karbala neighborhood, valued at $2.1 million.

It urged protesters to remain peaceful while defending what it described as their constitutional right to education, calling the university \"our identity.\"<\/span>\r\n\r\nFounded by jailed opposition leader Azam Khan, Mohammed Ali Jauhar University enrolls nearly 3,000 students, many from economically disadvantaged backgrounds who receive fee concessions. Supporters say demolishing nearly the entire campus would make it impossible for the institution to function.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe demolition order has sparked support from Muslim organizations across India. A delegation from Jamaat-e-Islami Hind visited the campus this week and submitted a memorandum to the governor of Uttar Pradesh urging an immediate stay on the demolition.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe organization said authorities should pursue legal or administrative alternatives rather than a move that would deprive thousands of students of access to higher education.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe All India Muslim Personal Law Board has also condemned the proposed demolition, describing it as a vindictive action that targets not only an educational institution but the educational advancement of India's Muslim community.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe dispute has also revived scrutiny of the treatment of Azam Khan, one of India's most prominent Muslim political leaders. <\/span>\r\n\r\nSince the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party government led by Hindu militant monk-turned-chief minister Yogi Adityanath came to power in Uttar Pradesh, Khan, members of his family and institutions linked to him have faced a succession of criminal cases, investigations, property seizures and demolition actions.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nKhan himself has spent years in prison in multiple cases, while opposition parties and civil rights advocates have accused the state government of using administrative and legal processes to dismantle his political and institutional legacy.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nSupporters of the university argue that the demolition order cannot be separated from that broader campaign. They say the action extends beyond Azam Khan and now threatens the education and future of thousands of students who have no connection to the legal cases against the university's founder.<\/span>","post_title":"Students launch indefinite hunger strike to save Muslim-founded university in India","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"students-launch-indefinite-hunger-strike-to-save-muslim-founded-university-in-india","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-07-24 20:21:20","post_modified_gmt":"2026-07-24 20:21:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=68212","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":68209,"post_author":"21","post_date":"2026-07-24 20:18:53","post_date_gmt":"2026-07-24 20:18:53","post_content":"MAL\u00c9, Maldives (MNTV) \u2014 Maldives has enacted its first comprehensive law regulating human organ transplantation after President Mohamed Muizzu approved legislation that prohibits prisoners from donating organs and establishes a legal framework for transplant services in the country.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Human Organ Transplant Act, ratified on Thursday after being reconsidered by Parliament, sets out rules governing organ donation and transplantation, defines the rights and responsibilities of donors, recipients and healthcare providers, and creates oversight bodies to regulate the sector.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe legislation was originally passed by Parliament in May but was returned by President Muizzu, who objected to a provision allowing prisoners to serve as organ donors.

NEW DELHI (MNTV) \u2014 For anyone following Indian news from abroad, one place appears repeatedly whenever protests erupt in the country's capital: Jantar Mantar.<\/p>\r\n
Farmers, students, government employees, pensioners, women, minorities and activists all eventually arrive at the same destination<\/p>\r\n
To many outside India, the name sounds almost magical. Yet there is no magic behind it. Instead, it tells the remarkable story of how an observatory built to measure the movement of stars gradually became the most recognised address for protests in the Indian capital.<\/p>\r\n
The transformation was not accidental. It was shaped by politics, geography and history.<\/p>\r\n
According to historians, Jantar Mantar was constructed in 1724 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Jaipur and one of the greatest patrons of astronomy in eighteenth-century India.<\/p>\r\n
It was the first of five observatories he built across northern India. Similar complexes were later established in Jaipur, Ujjain, Varanasi and Mathura.<\/p>\r\n
The name \"Jantar Mantar\" is derived from Sanskrit and Persian words meaning \"instruments for measuring the harmony of the heavens.\"<\/p>\r\n
Unlike modern observatories equipped with telescopes, these giant masonry structures measured time, planetary positions and celestial movements with the naked eye.<\/p>\r\n
Today, the observatory is a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India and remains a popular tourist attraction. But the road outside its walls tells a very different story.<\/p>\r\n
Soon after India's independence in 1947, the government allotted the heritage bungalow at 7, Jantar Mantar Road to the Indian National Congress, the party that had led the freedom struggle. The site is also near New Delhi\u2019s famed city centre Connaught Place.<\/p>\r\n
For more than two decades, the Congress ran its national headquarters from this address.<\/p>\r\n
At a time when Congress dominated Indian politics, ministers, Members of Parliament, chief ministers, diplomats, journalists, lobbyists and party workers visited the area every day.<\/p>\r\n
Jantar Mantar Road quickly became one of New Delhi's busiest political corridors.<\/p>\r\n
The road's importance only increased after the Congress split in 1969, when the building passed to the Congress faction opposed to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.<\/p>\r\n
Following the Janata Party's historic election victory in 1977 under Morarji Desai, the building became the headquarters of the new ruling party.<\/p>\r\n
As the Janata movement later fragmented into several political parties, the property passed through different successor organizations. In recent years it has largely served as the Delhi office of the Janata Dal (United) while also housing several political and social organizations.<\/p>\r\n
Boat Club v\/s Jantar Mantar<\/strong><\/p>\r\n
But for decades, the preferred venue for protests was the vast Boat Club lawns near India Gate, directly facing the country's most powerful institutions including Parliament, the Prime Minister's Office and the North and South Blocks.<\/p>\r\n
Major rallies throughout the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s took place there.<\/p>\r\n
In October 1988, farmer leader Mahendra Singh Tikait, heading the Bharatiya Kisan Union, led an estimated 500,000 farmers to the Boat Club lawns.<\/p>\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n
For seven days they occupied the entire ceremonial boulevard from Vijay Chowk to India Gate. The farmers had come with thousands of tractors, bullock carts and livestock<\/p>\r\n
The nation's administrative heart virtually came to a standstill.<\/p>\r\n
The unprecedented demonstration convinced authorities that such massive gatherings could no longer be permitted so close to the country's most sensitive government institutions.<\/p>\r\n
In 1993, the government prohibited public demonstrations at the Boat Club and designated Jantar Mantar Road as New Delhi's principal site for protests.<\/p>\r\n
The road already possessed enormous political significance because of the Congress headquarters and decades of political activity.<\/p>\r\n
It also lay close enough to Parliament for demonstrators to attract the attention of lawmakers without paralysing the government's functioning.<\/p>\r\n
Parliament is only about two kilometers away.<\/p>\r\n
Normally, police permit protest marches from Jantar Mantar to Parliament Street Police Station, where delegations submit memorandums to government officials.<\/p>\r\n
For most protest groups, this is the closest point they are allowed to reach before Parliament.<\/p>\r\n
Over the past three decades, Jantar Mantar has become India's equivalent of a national public forum.<\/p>\r\n
Farmers demanding fair prices, government employees seeking pensions, students protesting examination policies, religious organizations, displaced communities, women's groups and families seeking justice have all assembled at the site.<\/p>\r\n
Some of the sit-ins on the Jantar Mantar road have been going on for several decades.<\/p>\r\n
One such long and most prominent continuous day-and-night collective sit-in at the site was led by military veterans under the Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM) demanding One Rank One Pension (OROP).<\/p>\r\n
They pitched tents and staged an uninterrupted 24\/7 demonstration at Jantar Mantar for over 850 days (from June 2015 until their eviction in October 2017).<\/p>\r\n $\"\"$ \r\n
Some demonstrations attract thousands. Others consist of only a few dozen citizens carrying handwritten placards.<\/p>\r\n
Today, Jantar Mantar reflects two different chapters of Indian civilization.<\/p>\r\n
Inside its walls stand old scientific instruments that once measured the movement of the Sun, Moon and stars.<\/p>\r\n
Outside its gates unfolds the constant movement of disgruntled people.<\/p>\r\n
An observatory built to understand the heavens became the country's best-known address for earthly demands.<\/p>\r\n
That is why, whenever breaking news reports that protesters have gathered at Jantar Mantar, every Indian immediately understands what it means.<\/p>\r\n
It is where citizens come when they want the nation to listen.<\/p>","post_title":"Why every protest in Indian capital leads to Jantar Mantar","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"why-every-protest-in-indian-capital-leads-to-jantar-mantar","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-07-24 20:09:11","post_modified_gmt":"2026-07-24 20:09:11","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=68200","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"post_count":10,"current_post":-1,"before_loop":true,"in_the_loop":false,"post":{"ID":68231,"post_author":"21","post_date":"2026-07-24 21:09:06","post_date_gmt":"2026-07-24 21:09:06","post_content":"ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (MNTV) \u2014 Pakistan is exploring the possibility of helping revive stalled negotiations between the United States and Iran aimed at ending their nearly five-month conflict, with the latest diplomatic initiative receiving support from China, according to Pakistani sources familiar with the discussions.\r\n\r\nThe exploratory contacts took place during Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni's recent visit to Islamabad, his second trip to Pakistan within 10 days.\r\n\r\nDuring the visit, Momeni met senior Pakistani officials, including Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, according to official statements issued by Islamabad.\r\n\r\nOfficials familiar with the discussions cautioned that significant obstacles remain before any formal negotiations between Washington and Tehran can resume.\r\n\r\nPakistan's mediation efforts come as regional tensions continue to escalate. The recent naval blockade announced by Yemen's Houthi movement against Saudi Arabia has complicated Islamabad's diplomatic position, given Pakistan's close strategic relationship with Riyadh and its strong economic ties with Beijing.\r\n\r\nPakistani officials have publicly condemned attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, while also seeking to maintain constructive relations with neighboring Iran as well as China, which has encouraged renewed diplomatic engagement to reduce instability across the Middle East.\r\n\r\nSources said Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar discussed the emerging diplomatic initiative with Chinese officials during his visit to Beijing last week.\r\n\r\nChina later confirmed it supports mediation efforts undertaken by Pakistan and other regional partners, saying it remains committed to helping restore stability in the Gulf region.\r\n\r\nChina has substantial economic interests in maintaining secure maritime trade routes. Continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea has affected regional shipping and energy supplies, creating additional incentives for diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing hostilities.\r\n\r\nBeijing remains Iran's largest trading partner and the principal buyer of Iranian crude oil despite international sanctions imposed on Tehran. China has also maintained broader economic and technological cooperation with Iran while repeatedly calling for a negotiated political solution to the conflict.\r\n\r\nPakistan's current efforts build on previous mediation attempts. Earlier this year, Pakistan and Qatar helped facilitate indirect understandings between Washington and Tehran that were intended to create a framework for broader negotiations.\r\n\r\nThose efforts ultimately failed to produce a lasting agreement, with both sides accusing each other of violating commitments before fighting resumed.\r\n\r\nThe latest escalation has further complicated diplomacy. Recent attacks targeting Saudi-linked shipping have heightened regional security concerns and increased pressure on mediators seeking to restart negotiations.\r\n\r\nOne Pakistani official said that ending attacks against Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states has become a necessary condition before meaningful negotiations between the United States and Iran can resume.\r\n\r\nAccording to the official, Islamabad has conveyed that position directly to Iranian authorities as part of its ongoing diplomatic contacts.","post_title":"Pakistan, Iran explore renewed US talks through China-backed diplomatic effort","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"pakistan-iran-explore-renewed-us-talks-through-china-backed-diplomatic-effort","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-07-24 21:11:18","post_modified_gmt":"2026-07-24 21:11:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.muslimnetwork.tv\/?p=68231","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"comment_count":0,"current_comment":-1,"found_posts":28239,"max_num_pages":2824,"max_num_comment_pages":0,"is_single":false,"is_preview":false,"is_page":false,"is_archive":false,"is_date":false,"is_year":false,"is_month":false,"is_day":false,"is_time":false,"is_author":false,"is_category":false,"is_tag":false,"is_tax":false,"is_search":false,"is_feed":false,"is_comment_feed":false,"is_trackback":false,"is_home":true,"is_privacy_policy":false,"is_404":false,"is_embed":false,"is_paged":false,"is_admin":false,"is_attachment":false,"is_singular":false,"is_robots":false,"is_favicon":false,"is_posts_page":false,"is_post_type_archive":false,"thumbnails_cached":false}
