Pakistan’s Mediation Prompts Israel to Pause Targeting of Top Iranian Officials
Israel reportedly had the coordinated of Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and were ready to assassinate him.
Israel has temporarily removed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf from its strike list following a request conveyed by Pakistan to the United States, according to a Pakistani source familiar with the discussions.
The source told Reuters that Israel had already identified the officials’ coordinates but agreed to stand down after Washington relayed Islamabad’s warning that eliminating them would leave “no one else to talk to” amid ongoing efforts to explore possible peace negotiations.
The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that the two Iranian leaders were removed from the list for four to five days, though it did not mention Pakistan’s involvement.
Pakistan, alongside Egypt and Turkey, has been acting as a mediator between Tehran and Washington during the Iran war, maintaining direct communication channels with both sides at a time when most countries cannot. Islamabad is also viewed as a potential venue for future peace talks.
Iran is currently reviewing a 15‑point proposal from U.S. President Donald Trump—sent through Pakistan—calling for limits on uranium enrichment, ballistic missile restrictions, and reduced support for regional allies. Tehran has acknowledged receiving the proposal but insists it has no intention of entering talks to wind down the conflict at this stage.
