US‑Iran tensions with Pakistan mediation
Entities: Pakistan · Qatar · Strait of Hormuz · Iran · United States
Overview
In early July 2026, the United States and Iran were scheduled to hold talks on July 11 in Pakistan, indicating an attempt to resume diplomatic engagement.
By the end of the month, Pakistan warned that the United States appeared to be preparing a limited ground assault on Iran’s southern coast. A leaked Pakistani intelligence assessment described a buildup of U.S. troops and equipment near the Persian Gulf, aimed at securing the Strait of Hormuz and protecting maritime traffic. Islamabad, positioning itself as a regional mediator, urged a return to negotiations and cautioned that a land invasion would raise the risk of broader conflict. Diplomatic efforts involving Pakistan and Qatar continued in an attempt to avert escalation.
