• •Pakistan's Foreign Ministry formally called for restraint, citing the potential for wider regional conflict.
• •Islamabad explicitly urged both parties to adhere to existing Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to prevent further instability.
• •The effectiveness of Pakistan’s diplomatic intervention remains unproven as neither the US nor Iran has publicly responded to this specific appeal.

Pakistan's government has officially urged the United States and Iran to de-escalate following a series of renewed attacks in the region. Unlike previous periods of relative diplomatic calm, the current rhetoric marks a shift back to active mediation efforts by Islamabad, according to Al Jazeera. However, the influence of Pakistan in this specific geopolitical corridor is constrained by its own internal economic and security challenges. Whether this call for adherence to MoUs can prevent a direct military confrontation remains uncertain as regional actors continue to trade fire.
