The ball now being back in Iran”s court…..

Pakistan and Iran have restored diplomatic ties according to the caretaker prime minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar's office. It comes after both countries exchanged drone and missile strikes on militant bases on each other's territory. As a result of the tit-for-tat attacks Iran and Pakistan withdrew their ambassadors from the respective capitals. Both ambassadors are now expected to return to their posts following talks.

There has been no immediate comment from Iran on the talks. Earlier on Friday, Pakistan expressed its willingness to work with Iran on "all issues" following a call between their foreign ministers. "Foreign Minister Jilani expressed Pakistan's readiness to work with Iran on all issues based on spirit of mutual trust and cooperation," the Pakistan foreign ministry said. "They also agreed to de-escalate the situation. The return of ambassadors of the two countries to their respective capitals was also discussed."
