Pakistan’s mediation role, regardless of eventual outcome, is a win for Pakistan & a win for all countries adversely affected by the US war on Iran. - There is a ceasefire that has held for over two weeks. - The highest level direct Iran-US negotiations since 1979 have occurred in Islamabad. - Pakistan’s leaders have faithfully communicated what the warring parties have asked it to. - Pakistan is engaged with all stakeholders 24/7. - Pakistan cannot compel Iran or the US to make a deal. Nor can it make any guarantees of anyone’s good behaviour- which, given dishonest US conduct towards Iran, no country or coalition can do. If Pakistan succeeds the world succeeds. And if mediation fails, then history will testify that when the world was on the brink of disaster there was one nation that did all it could to prevent the worst from happening.
