  "textContent": "WEB DESK: Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, has held a second high-stakes telephone conversation with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan within 48 hours, signaling an intense diplomatic push to avert a regional explosion, according to _Pakistan Today._\n\nThe surge in communication comes as the international community braces for the expiration of a critical deadline set by US President Donald Trump, scheduled for Tuesday evening.\n\nDiplomatic sources suggest that the two ministers are coordinating a unified stance among regional powers to present a viable de-escalation roadmap to Washington and Tehran before the window for mediation closes.\n\n## **A race against the clock for regional stability**\n\nThe frequency of these contacts underscores the gravity of the current geopolitical climate, with Pakistan increasingly positioned as a vital diplomatic bridge.\n\nFollowing recent high-level consultations in Beijing and ongoing engagement with the \"Quad\" group comprising Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey, Dar is reportedly facilitating a five-point peace initiative aimed at securing maritime corridors and preventing a direct military confrontation in the Middle East.\n\nAnalysts observe that this \"shuttle diplomacy\" is a last-ditch effort to address American security concerns while maintaining regional sovereignty.\n\nWith the April 7 deadline fast approaching, the Islamabad-Riyadh axis appears to be the primary channel through which a potential breakthrough might be delivered to prevent a significant shift from diplomacy to kinetic action.\n\nThe post Final-hour talks: Dar, Saudi Counterpart in urgent diplomacy as Trump deadline nears appeared first on HUM News English.",
