US-Iran escalation to have global consequences — Pakistani ambassador to Russia
Pakistan's ambassador to Russia, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, says any new escalation between the US and Iran would have global consequences, citing oil and fertilizer markets. He emphasized Pakistan's role as a mediator and its belief in diplomacy.
Pakistan's Ambassador to Russia, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, has warned that any new escalation between the United States and Iran would have global consequences, particularly affecting oil and fertilizer prices. In an interview with TASS, he reiterated Pakistan's commitment to diplomacy and its role as a mediator between Washington and Tehran.
Coverage Comparison
The ambassador's remarks were reported by TASS, which quoted him extensively. According to the agency, Tirmizi discussed ongoing closed contacts regarding the US-Iran conflict, Pakistan's advocacy for peace, and the significance of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. He noted that Pakistan is conducting negotiations and serves as a channel of communication between the United States and Iran.
Key Claims
Ambassador Tirmizi stated that there are closed contacts regarding the current conflict between Washington and Tehran, and that Pakistan believes in diplomacy and advocates for peace in the region.
He cited the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, signed in June, as confirmation of Pakistan's effective mediating role. One report says the memorandum was signed in Switzerland's Burgenstock.
The ambassador said that Pakistan played a key role in reaching an agreement between Iran and the US, and that the root cause of the conflict, which began in late February, has now been resolved.
He warned that any escalation would have consequences of regional and international significance, especially regarding oil and fertilizer prices, noting that 22% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supplies come from the Persian Gulf.
Tirmizi mentioned that Pakistan continues to participate in negotiations with both sides, in cooperation with other countries such as Qatar.
He highlighted Pakistan's historical role in resolving global conflicts, including the Palestinian issue and the independence of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.
Background
TASS reported that the US and Israel launched military operations against Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding providing for an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon. However, the United States resumed large-scale airstrikes on Iran early on July 8, accusing Tehran of violating previous agreements on the Strait of Hormuz.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
