Amidst the ongoing war in the Middle East, Pakistan is trying to show itself as a country that facilitates talks between America and Iran. During this period, Pakistan has intensified diplomatic efforts behind the scenes. According to the report, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir spoke directly to Donald Trump on phone. The next day, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif talked to Iranian President Masoud Pejeshkian and even said that if needed, Islamabad could be made a venue for talks.
After this, Pakistan sent the 15-point peace proposal given by America to Iran, but Tehran rejected it. Along with Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt are also trying to organize talks between America and Iran in this matter. As the war in the Middle East has escalated and the energy crisis in the world has deepened, the efforts of these countries have also intensified.

However, it is not easy for Pakistan to make peace. If Iran persists in its stance and does not back down, the situation may worsen. In such a situation, the risk of Pakistan getting directly drawn into this war also increases, especially because it has a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia. If Pakistan succeeds in bringing America and Iran together to the negotiating table in this crisis, then its international image can be greatly strengthened. This had happened earlier in 1972, when Pakistan played an important role in Richard Nixon’s visit to China.
What will be the benefit to Pakistan?
Pakistan can also directly benefit from the end of this war. Its population consists largely of Shia Muslims and there were protests in the country after the attacks at the beginning of the war. Apart from this, a long war can become a threat to Pakistan, because it can affect its borders and internal situation. Pakistan’s border with Iran is in Balochistan, where there has been tension before. Although relations have improved somewhat now, this area may become sensitive again if the war escalates.
What could be Pakistan’s role in Iran war?
One special thing about Pakistan is that it is a country which has contacts with both America and Iran. This is why he is being seen as a mediator, but the biggest challenge is his defense agreement with Saudi Arabia. If Iran attacks Saudi Arabia, Pakistan may also be pressured to help under this agreement. In such a situation, Pakistan’s situation may become more difficult. Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has also said that he is constantly trying to find a solution through talks before the situation worsens.
