Pakistan Proposes Islamabad as Mediation Hub for US-Iran-Israel Talks
Pakistan has offered to host mediation aimed at ending the US-Israel campaign targeting Iran, with the army chief leading outreach and reportedly placing direct calls to President Trump; Islamabad presents itself as a neutral venue even as its growing security ties with Gulf partners and recent cross‑border operations complicate perceptions of impartiality. The bid elevates Pakistan’s diplomatic stake, opens immediate intelligence-and-security frictions (verification, witness protection, force posture), and sits alongside competing mediation offers and Iranian red lines that together make any rapid breakthrough conditional and fragile.
