The incident

took place during the quadrilateral meeting hosted by Pakistan, involving the foreign ministers of Egypt, Turkiye and Saudi Arabia. The meeting was reportedly held to discuss easing tensions between the United States and Iran.

Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said the two-day meeting will see the foreign ministers of the four countries hold “in-depth discussions on a range of issues, including efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region,” Reuters reported.

The foreign ministers’ visit to Islamabad comes soon after a meeting of these in Riyadh earlier this month. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif held a detailed telephone conversation with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Saturday, assuring full support for diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions and ensuring security guarantees.

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the meeting aims to establish a mechanism to reduce tensions and evaluate possible diplomatic pathways.

“We would discuss where the negotiations in this war are heading and how these four countries assess the situation and what can be done,” Fidan told broadcaster A Haber, according to Reuters.

Meanwhile, Iranian officials have indicated that any possible talks could take place either in Pakistan or Turkey.

Iran is reviewing a 15-point proposal presented by the United States, although one Iranian official described the proposal as “one-sided and unfair.”

The reported proposal includes provisions related to Iran’s nuclear programme, missile development and arrangements linked to the Strait of Hormuz, a key global trade route.

Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has also indicated that a direct meeting between the United States and Iran could take place in Pakistan “very soon,” according to AFP.
