Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called for dialogue and restraint to ease regional tensions during a meeting Wednesday with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, according to Sharif's office, CBS News reports.
Sharif expressed deep concern over the prolonged conflict as the two spoke on the sidelines of the United Nations climate summit in Turkey, his office said. The prime minister stressed the need to build on an interim deal reached between the U.S. and Iran in June.
In August, Pezeshkian described the deal as the best way for Iran to move on from a situation that he described as "neither war nor peace."
