Pakistan-led efforts to broker US-Iran ceasefire hit dead end – WSJ

Apr 3, 2026, 18:18 GMT+1

Efforts by regional countries led by Pakistan to broker a cease-fire between the United States and Iran have reached a dead end, according to a report by the The Wall Street Journal.

The report said recent mediation attempts stalled after disagreements over the terms of a potential halt in hostilities.

Iranian officials told mediators they were unwilling to meet US officials in Islamabad in the coming days and that American demands are unacceptable, the report said.

Pakistan has been leading the diplomatic push alongside other regional actors seeking to prevent further escalation between Washington and Tehran as the conflict continues.

It was not immediately clear whether mediators plan to revive the talks or pursue alternative channels to restart negotiations.
