US President Donald Trump appeared to endorse Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s offer to host talks between the United States and Iran after sharing a screengrab of Sharif’s post on his Truth Social account. The post was widely interpreted as a tacit approval of Islamabad’s proposal that Pakistan “be the host” to facilitate dialogue between the warring parties.
The move comes as backchannel efforts to open a negotiating channel between Washington and Tehran gain momentum, even while fighting continues on the ground. There has been no formal confirmation from the White House that Pakistan has been selected as a venue or that a structured dialogue process has been finalized; U.S. officials described discussions as fluid and sensitive.
As the conflict enters its fourth week, the prospect of talks is being watched closely amid growing international concerns about energy security and regional stability. Any progress toward negotiations would be monitored by regional actors and global partners.
