Pakistan Emerges as Unexpected Mediator Between White House and Tehran

Pakistan has positioned itself as an unlikely peacemaker in efforts to end tensions between the United States and Iran, despite the country simultaneously conducting its own military operations in Afghanistan. The South Asian nation's diplomatic initiative comes as it seeks to bridge the gap between Washington and Tehran amid ongoing regional conflicts. Pakistan's role as mediator appears contradictory given its active involvement in the Afghan conflict, where it continues military engagement even as it promotes peace between other major powers in the region.
