Mehdi Hasan, Editor-in-Chief of Zeteo, provided a critical analysis of Pakistan's diplomatic efforts in light of the ongoing U.S.-Iran crisis during an interview with NDTV. He noted that Pakistan has successfully cultivated a close relationship with former U.S. President Donald Trump, suggesting that this has been a strategic move to enhance its diplomatic standing. Hasan referred to Field Marshal Asim Munir's private meeting with Trump as a historic moment for Pakistan, emphasizing that such personal rapport is crucial in U.S. foreign policy. He expressed skepticism about the potential for quick resolutions in the U.S.-Iran negotiations, arguing that the complexities involved are often underestimated. Hasan pointed out that the current Iranian leadership is less willing to compromise than previous administrations, complicating the diplomatic landscape. As the situation evolves, the Iranian government has yet to confirm its participation in the upcoming talks, citing concerns over the U.S.'s commitment to diplomacy amidst ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
