Israel has reportedly removed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf from its list of potential targets, following diplomatic intervention by Pakistan, according to a source close to the matter.
According to this Pakistani source, Islamabad reportedly argued to Washington that eliminating these senior Iranian officials would jeopardize any possibility of dialogue.
The United States then relayed this concern to Israel, leading to a change of position.
"If they were eliminated, there would be no one left to talk to," the source explained, stressing the importance of maintaining political interlocutors in a context of extreme tensions.
This decision, if confirmed, highlights the behind-the-scenes diplomatic efforts to preserve channels of negotiation despite the military escalation.
It also highlights Pakistan's role as an intermediary in attempts to de-escalate the conflict.
In a context where clashes are multiplying between Iran, Israel and the United States, the preservation of key political figures appears as a strategic issue.
This development finally illustrates the complexity of the conflict, mixing military operations and parallel diplomatic initiatives to try to avoid an even wider conflagration.
