Washington, D.C., saw Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, introduce a nonbinding House resolution commending Pakistan’s peace talks efforts in the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran.
The resolution was submitted in the 119th Congress, 2nd Session, according to the document. It describes Pakistan as a neutral broker that helped facilitate negotiations between the parties.
The measure says Pakistan hosted diplomatic delegations despite logistical challenges, including citywide shutdowns.
“Pakistan has clearly demonstrated its desire to facilitate an end to the war between the United States and Israel with Iran,” the resolution states.
The document credits Pakistan with playing an “integral role” and providing a “secure and reliable location for peace talks.”
The resolution says at least 13 US service members have been killed and more than 399 wounded in the conflict. It also says the conflict is costing the United States about $1 billion per day.
The measure warns that further escalation, including possible deployment of US ground forces in Iran, would create “strife, disunity, and turmoil” inside the United States.
It says ending the fighting would help stabilise global energy supplies and petroleum prices.
The resolution’s formal title is “Original Resolution Commending the Islamic Republic of Pakistan for its efforts to facilitate peace between the United States and Israel with Iran.”
