🇵🇰🇮🇷🇺🇸⚡️ — NEW: Pakistan reaffirms its mediation role between the US and Iran while warning it will side with Saudi Arabia if called upon, Reuters reports.

➡️ Foreign ministry spokesman Tahir Andrabi called on "all parties to exercise maximum restraint," saying "there is no alternative to sustained engagement, dialogue, and diplomacy."

➡️ Pakistani officials say the mediation effort is as much about securing oil and gas supply routes — disrupted by tensions around the Strait of Hormuz — as it is about diplomatic influence.

➡️ One Pakistani official said Islamabad has no intention of abandoning its mediator role: "We have invested a lot in it, and we have an interest in keeping it afloat."

➡️ A separate Pakistani source close to the mediation was more direct: "If Saudi calls us in, we will stand by them and there is no doubt about that."
