Hello and welcome to NewsHour live from the BBC World Service in London.
I'm Rebecca Kesby.
Today, efforts continue to establish diplomatic channels to end the war in the Middle East,
with Pakistan playing a pivotal role in facilitating talks.
We'll hear from Pakistan's former ambassador to the US, the UK and the UN in a moment.
First, though, within the past few hours, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament,
Mohammed Ghalibaf, has posted on social media pouring scorn on the idea that the US is pursuing talks in good faith,
accusing the United States of pretending to seek a diplomatic solution to the conflict
while preparing ground troops for an invasion.
Mr Galabaf said the Iranian military was, quote,
waiting for American soldiers to enter the ground so they can rain fire upon them.
Meanwhile, there's no let-up in the war.
Israel says it's targeting temporary command centres in the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Multiple explosions were heard in the eastern and north-eastern parts of the city overnight.
