ISLAMABAD: The Centre for Afghanistan, Middle East and Africa (CAMEA) at the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad (ISSI) on Friday organised a roundtable discussion on “Evolving Situation in Iran and Pakistan’s Policy Response”. Former diplomats, leading academics, and prominent practitioners joined the discussion, which focused on the evolving situation in Iran, its regional implications, and Pakistan’s current and future policy outlook.
Participants noted that the situation in Iran remains highly tense following the recent United States and Israeli strikes and Iran’s subsequent retaliatory actions. These developments have heightened tensions across the Middle East and raised concerns about regional stability and security. The importance of dialogue and diplomatic engagement to prevent further escalation was also underlined, while safeguarding regional stability and Pakistan’s security and foreign policy interests. Pakistan’s role as a potential mediator in promoting diplomatic engagement and regional stability amid growing uncertainties in the Middle East was also highlighted.
