Ebrahim Rezaei, an Iranian lawmaker representing Dashtestan and spokesperson for Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, has expressed skepticism regarding Pakistan's capability to mediate in the ongoing Middle East conflict. He described Pakistan as a 'good friend' but asserted that it lacks the necessary credibility and impartiality, often aligning with U.S. interests. Rezaei pointed out that Pakistan has failed to criticize the U.S. for not fulfilling its commitments, particularly concerning Lebanon and blocked assets. His comments come as Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi engages with mediators in Pakistan and Oman, seeking resolution on contentious issues, including Iran's nuclear ambitions. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran could initiate negotiations by calling the U.S., emphasizing that any agreement must include restrictions on Iran's nuclear program. The conflict, which escalated following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, has resulted in thousands of deaths and heightened global economic concerns.
