The strike near its embassy in Tehran comes at a time when Pakistan is attempting to facilitate dialogue between US and Iran. Several senior officials in the Pakistani administration have come out in the open and said that “if both parties desire, Islamabad is willing to host talks" between the United States and Iran.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said Islamabad was “ready and honoured” to facilitate “meaningful and conclusive talks” between the US and Iran.
