Pakistan Intervenes Diplomatically to Prevent Israel from Targeting Iranian Leaders

A Pakistani official revealed on Thursday that Israel has removed both Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf from its list of targets, following active diplomatic intervention from Islamabad in Washington.

The official told Reuters that Pakistan requested the United States not to target the Iranian officials, warning that any attempt to eliminate them could cut off political channels for engagement with Tehran and further complicate regional dynamics.
