Pakistan has intensified its diplomatic mediation efforts between Iran and the United States, with key officials visiting Tehran for discussions. Interior Minister Mohsen Naqvi met with Iranian leaders to address the status of indirect talks with the US, while Army Chief General Asim Munir is expected to follow suit. These engagements come amidst a backdrop of declining trust from the US towards Pakistan, as officials express skepticism about Islamabad's neutrality in the mediation process, particularly after reports of Iranian military aircraft using Pakistani airbases. Despite these challenges, Pakistan is eager for a peace deal, as it grapples with a foreign debt exceeding $100 billion. Reports suggest that Iran and Pakistan have reached an understanding, whereby Pakistan would assist Iran in securing a favorable agreement with the US in exchange for financial relief. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has indicated that the situation with Iran is precarious, stating that a satisfactory agreement is essential to avoid military action. As tensions remain high in the region, Pakistan's role as a mediator is increasingly critical.
